It takes a Penn Charter village to prepare a head of school to throw out a first pitch! Watch Darryl J. Ford get ready, with a team of teachers and students, for his debut on the mound at the April 23 Phillies game. More details and ticket information coming soon.
As we transition from the school day to after-school enrichment, sports practices and play rehearsals, we hope you'll make a gift to support Penn Charter and help the tallies rise on Great Day.
