Strath Haven Middle School in Wallingford is scheduled to have a unique visitor Friday when President Biden visits Strath Haven for a campaign rally fresh from his State of the Union address, writes Julia Terruso for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Biden is expected to hold a rally there in the early evening, kicking off his campaign tour.

His deputy communications manager, Brooke Goren, is an alumna of the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District.

Classes will still be held. The district emailed parents to let them know that unspecified visitors could cause parking and road closures around the school. Some afternoon sports and activities could also be impacted.

This is Biden’s fourth stop in eastern Pennsylvania this year and his first stop at a school. Jill Biden is a lifelong educator from Montgomery County.

The Philadelphia suburbs, including Delaware County, with a large, educated, and increasingly racially and ethnically diverse electorate, have become a key area for Democrats.

The Wallingford-Swarthmore School District is no stranger to political visitors.  Former President Barack Obama came to Strath Haven High School as a candidate in the 2008 Democratic primary, talking with students and holding a town hall.

Sen. John Fetterman had a rally at Nether Providence Elementary School during his 2022 campaign.
