School Overview

Hershey High School sits at the heart of one of Pennsylvania's most iconic small towns — yes, that Hershey — where the streetlights are shaped like Kisses and the community takes genuine pride in its schools. Ranking 26th in the state, this is a rigorous, well-rounded school that draws families who want strong academics across the board without the frantic pace of a big-city district. If you're considering a move to the Harrisburg area and want a tight-knit town with top-tier public education, tree-lined streets, and a surprisingly vibrant local culture, Hershey is the kind of place that tends to exceed expectations.
