Two Former Henderson High School Students Are Back

WEST CHESTER, PA – West Chester Area School District welcomes two former students and employees to serve as athletic director and vice principal at Henderson High School.

John Lundardi and Steve Fitch have deep roots in the school and strong dedication to the students, making them valuable additions to the administrative team.

District officials said in a news release that they send a warm welcome to Fitch and Lunardi and a thank you for the tremendous work they have already accomplished.

Assistant Principal

John Lunardi was a teacher at Henderson for 13 years and a former student of the school.

“I think Henderson is unique for many different reasons,” Lunardi said. “One of those is that it's the original West Chester High School from back in the 1860s, so there's a tremendous amount of history here.”

Lunardi said the staff, families, and students are what really make a school special.

“I'm proud to be from here and proud to work here,” he said.

Athletic Director

Steve Fitch, a former student-athlete in the 1990s, returned to the school as head baseball coach in 2008.

Fitch has a deep passion for sports and wants to see Henderson's students accomplish their goals on and off the field.

As a coach of 17 years, Fitch showcased his devotion to the students and will continue to expand his reach to all of the teams.

“The main goal right now is to effectively connect with and oversee the 23 teams at the varsity level so that all coaches and teams have the support necessary to compete each and every day,” Fitch said.

“At Henderson, families should be able to show up and enjoy themselves in a family-friendly environment and also know that our students are taught how to conduct themselves well on and off the field,” he added.
