some more construction slated for Henderson in the future

In the spring, teachers and students at B. Reed Henderson High School were glad that the lengthy renovation process was completed and they could enjoy a school equipped with the latest technology and larger space. But the Henderson campus hasn't seen the last of construction.

On Monday, the West Chester Area School Board voted to approve the first phase of a master plan and conceptual design for the school, which calls for two new athletic fields, eight tennis courts and 350 parking spots. The new facilities will be placed on land the district purchased over the last few years, including the old PennDOT building and Conner Tire Property.

So what sports exactly will benefit? Might they actually help a girls sport and create a varsity softball field on campus? My guess is that the softball is stuck for the foreseeable future having to commute off campus, just as they have for years. The district overall should be doing much better at gender equity. At East, the boys baseball field was sodded, allowing them to open in 2005. The so-called varsity softball field was seeded, and was not ready for varsity play even in 2007.
