Concord High School (CHS) is a public secondary school located in unincorporated New Castle County, Delaware, United States, with a Wilmington postal address.[1] It is one of three high schools in the Brandywine School District.[2] There was a total of 1,014 students enrolled in the fall for the 2024–2025 school year.[3] Kevin Palladinetti is the current principal of Concord High School.[4]
Its attendance boundary includes:[5] parts of the City of Wilmington,[6] and a small section of Ardentown.[7]
History
CHS opened in 1967 in response to a rapidly rising population that produced too many students for Brandywine High School, then in the Alfred I. duPont District, to handle on its own.[8][9] Upon opening, it was located on the same campus as Hanby Junior High and taught only ninth and tenth grades.[10] Construction on CHS' own building was delayed due to a worker strike and did not open until January 1970, an entire semester after the planned date and still without its gym, auditorium, and swimming pool completed.[8][11][12] During the delay, CHS was forced to leave Hanby and move temporarily into Brandywine High School's building; the two schools taught on a rotating basis: BHS students attended in the morning and CHS students attended in the afternoon.[13]

Concord is a member of Flight B of the Blue Hen Conference in the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA);[14] the Raiders compete in Class 2A, District 1 for football.[15] Concord fields a full slate of teams in all three sports seasons, including: crew, cross country, field hockey, football, soccer, volleyball, cheerleading, basketball, track, swimming/diving, wrestling, baseball, golf, lacrosse, and softball.[16] Concord's Athletic Director is Larry Jacobs.[17]
