Owen J. Roberts High School is a high school in the Owen J. Roberts School District.[2] It is located in Bucktown,[citation needed] in South Coventry Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania,[3] in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. It has a Pottstown postal address.
It resides at the intersection of Pennsylvania Route 100 and Pennsylvania Route 23, serving northern Chester County.[4]
History
The current high school unit was built in 1957,[5] though through the years many renovations have been done to accommodate for an increasing class size, including the construction of a new wing and a neighboring middle school.
The school is named after Owen J. Roberts (1875-1955), Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, who purchased the Strickland-Roberts Homestead in West Vincent Township in 1927, and died there in 1955.
Attendance boundary
The boundary of the school district (and therefore that of the high school) includes East Coventry Township, East Nantmeal Township, East Vincent Township, North Coventry Township (including Kenilworth and South Pottstown), South Coventry Township (including Pughtown), Warwick Township, and West Vincent Township.[6]
