Good morning, West Chester.

Church Farm School has created the Kistler Family Endowed Fund to honor Jack and John Kistler, who served the school for a combined 70 years as teachers, coaches, and mentors — a generous alumnus will match gifts up to $62,500 and the school plans to complete the fundraiser at Alumni Weekend 2025.

Elise Corbin, a West Chester native and assistant professor at the University of Delaware, was named a 2025 VISTA NextGen Superstar for her work in biomedical engineering plus her mentoring of students.

She will be honored at an Awards Reception on May 8 at the Penn State Great Valley Conference Center.

The Housing Authority of Chester County will open its waitlist for Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program on May 1 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.—offering eligible residents a chance to apply for affordable housing.

Pat Bokovitz from the Department of Human Services said the new process will help many people find safe homes.

West Chester recognized nine 911 dispatchers, including Michael Groff, during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week—honoring their work answering nearly 40,000 calls for 30,000 residents.

Police Chief Joshua Lee noted that the recognition comes as a Pennsylvania House bill reclassified dispatchers as first responders.
