Milton S. Hershey, founder of the Hershey Chocolate Company, and his wife Catherine, founded the Milton Hershey School in 1909. They had no children of their own and wanted to help orphan boys in need get a good education. Today, the school, located on more than 10,000 acres in Hershey, serves boys and girls from 4 years of age through their 12th grade graduation, who are in social and financial need.
The school provides everything for the children - a top-notch education, recreation, food, housing, clothing, medical and dental care. The children live with a married houseparent couple in homes with about 10 to 12 students their age. More than just caretakers,
houseparents take an active, nurturing interest in students' development and well-being.
The School emphasizes rigorous academics, character education and hands-on work experience. Senior high school students get training in career/technical areas. Each graduating student also can earn a continuing education scholarship to pursue college or career training.
Just as importantly, the school provides caring structure and guidance to help children learn responsibility and keep them safe.
Students also have many co-curricular opportunities, from sports to visual and performing arts, to agricultural interests.
Milton Hershey School's mission is to nurture and educate children in social and financial need to lead fulfilling and productive lives.

When did Alfred Hershey make his discovery?
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase did an experiment in 1952 confirming that DNA is genetic material instead of protein. It was previously proven by Griffith in 1928 and then by Avery, McCarty, and MacLeod, but lingering doubts remained because it was previously believed that DNA didn't have the diversity to be hereditary material (Levene, whose status in the science world at that time was akin to that of a rock star, hypothesized that the 4 nucleotides occurred in equal quantities, and repeated in this tetranucleotide pattern - and you don't question a rock star).
Hershey and Chase's experiment utilized a bacteriophage (a type of virus that infects bacteria, whose name means bacteria-eater) called T2 in their experiment because it's basically made up of a bit of DNA (some viruses carry RNA) and a protective protein coat, which was what was previously believed to be the genetic material as previously mentioned. Also, they knew that T2 could quickly 'reproduce' through its host cell (Escherichia coli - the normal kind) and have many copies released.
They used a radioactive isotope of sulfur to tag protein in one batch of T2 and a radioactive isotope of phosphorus to tag DNA in another batch (there was no sulfur in the DNA and likewise no phosphorus in the protein). They let each infect separate samples of E. coli - whatever T2 injected into E. coli had to be the genetic material because that's what was capable of 'reprogramming' the bacteria.
They took the mixtures of T2 and E. coli and blended it to free the T2 leftovers from the E. coli's walls. They then centrifuged (spun it really fast to separate the substances by density) the mixtures. The T2 parts where lighter and thus would be suspended in the liquid, but the E. coli was heavier and would form a pellet on the bottom of the test tube. They would then measure the radioactivity of the liquid and pellet.
They tested the radioactive sulfur (protein) experiment and found that, surprise surprise, the pellet was NOT radioactive, but the liquid was. This meant that it wasn't the protein that infected the E. coli.
They tested the radioactive phosphorus (DNA) experiment and found that the liquid was NOT radioactive but the pellet WAS. This meant that DNA was the hereditary material, NOT protein.
If that wasn't enough, Hershey and Chase went on and returned the radioactive-phosphorus-T2-infected E. coli to a culture medium of more E. coli and let nature run its course. They found that the E. coli released T2s that contained traces of radioactive phosphorus, even further indicating that DNA was the genetic material, not protein.
They proved, at least for viruses, that DNA was the genetic material - a complete counter to the popular belief that protein was the genetic material. Then Chargaff came along and completely shredded Levene's tetranucleotide hypothesis. :)
