RLRI: Milton Hershey School

Written by  Tim Lambert, witf Multimedia News Director

(Hershey) -- The Milton Hershey School has been in existence for a century in central Pennsylvania. But, how much do you know about it?

This month, WITF's Real Life | Real Issues series is focusing on the MHS. I've spent quite a bit of time on campus in the last few months, including at least 15 hours in the company of school President Anthony Colistra.

Touring the facilities, two houseparents and several students shared their time with me. I also interviewed several critics of how the school operates and its funding is used. The end result will be a series of stories and segments throughout the month on WITF 89.5, 93.3 in Chambersburg and WITF-TV. The first installment is an article in the September issue of Central PA Magazine. For WITF 89.5 and 93.3 in Chambersburg, there is a two-part series...
