History Comes to Life at CASH
Students at Coatesville Area Senior High School CASH had a unique opportunity to connect with American history as part of the America 250 Commemoration.
Rescheduled because of weather earlier in the year, the French and Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust delivered a recently unearthed and preserved Revolutionary War cannon, originally cast at Warwick Furnace in 1776. This remarkable piece of history, weighing over 4,500 pounds, is believed to have been buried during the British advance on Philadelphia in 1777 to keep it from enemy hands.
Students learned about the cannon’s significance through an engaging presentation by volunteer Penny Hurst. The cannon was once present when George Washington’s Continental Army encamped at Warwick Furnace following the Battle of the Brandywine and the Battle of the Clouds.
As one of the earliest cannons commissioned in the United States, this artifact gave students a powerful, hands-on connection to our nation’s founding. They had the opportunity to ask questions, learn firsthand, and even take photos with this incredible piece of history.
An unforgettable experience bringing the past into the present.

Real-World Science in Action
Twenty-six Environmental Science students from Coatesville Area Senior High School (CASH) recently visited the Stroud Water Research Center, which hosted them at Hibernia Park for hands-on water quality field experiences.
Students conducted water chemistry testing, measuring dissolved oxygen, nitrate levels, and pH, and also collected aquatic macroinvertebrates--organisms that help indicate stream health. By identifying these species, students were able to assess the condition of the water.
Based on the data collected, students determined that the West Branch of the Brandywine Creek flowing through Hibernia Park is in excellent condition.
An incredible opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world environmental science!
