A vacant lot at West 24th Street and South State Street in the South Loop — part of the former Harold L. Ickes Homes — is the proposed site for a new CPS high school.

Near South Side High School is what our families, students have been waiting for

We are ready to move forward for the betterment of our collective communities. Let’s do right for all of our children who call the Near South Side home.
