Welcome to Chasco K–8 Community School

Located on the Chasco K–8 School Campus in Port Richey, the Chasco K–8 Community School was established to meet the unique needs of the students and families it serves. This initiative is a collaborative effort among several dedicated partners, including:

• Children’s Home Society
• Premier Community HealthCare
• Metropolitan Ministries
• University of South Florida
• District School Board of Pasco County

Together, these organizations work to provide comprehensive support and resources to the Chasco community. 

The purpose of the Chasco K8 Community School is to increase access to resources for students and the community. The Chasco K8 Community School will have medical, dental, and mental health care provided by Premier Community HealthCare. Founded in 1979, Premier Community HealthCare is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) serving Pasco and Hernando Counties. 

Along with meeting the health care needs of the community, the center will have a clothing closet and food pantry that will supply clothes, shelf-stable food, and fresh foods. There is also a multipurpose room that will have internet, a printer, and computers for students and community members to use to enhance learning, create resumes, etc. Additionally, the Community Health & Resource Center will offer tutoring and community-relevant educational programs.
