In 1927 there was a discussion about a construction of a new building near the lakefront on the old Clarendon Avenue Bathing Beach property. If moved the high school would been located in Uptown not the neighborhood of Lake View. According to the article below sections of the building on Ashland were to be condemned by the city's health department

News from a
New Principal in 2017
"We have big plans for the next four years: in partnership with Microsoft, NuMat Technologies, and Northwestern University, we just launched our Innovation Academy, a four-year enrichment program for academically-curious students. We're excited about the $20 million in renovations that will transform our exterior and interior spaces, and grateful for the support of the Chicago Cubs and Lake View Partners in giving us a head start with a brand-new weight room and MakerSpace. We're inspired by our student-entrepreneurs working under the mentorship of DeLoitte. We're grateful for the support of GrowCommunity in helping solidify a true network of neighborhood elementary and high schools that promises to create a smooth K-12 pipeline for children across the north side. And we're widening pathways for our students into college by improving access to classes at DePaul University and expanding our Dual Credit offerings with Wright College, and by hosting informational events for families in conjunction with the Harvard Club of Chicago." - Principal Paul J. Karafiol

The Parochial 
High School:
text & image - Niche

What is a parochial school?

A parochial school is a private school affiliated with a religious entity. In many cases, that entity is a church. Frequently that church is Catholic, although sometimes it’s not.

Some may refer to Jewish or other religious schools as parochial if the school is directly linked to a place of worship. However, “parochial” is rooted in the word “parish,” so typically the term “parochial school” references a Christian, and more specifically, Catholic, organization.

What kind of education is offered at parochial schools?

Parochial schools are subject to the same state guidelines as any other private school. They teach a standard curriculum including math, science and reading, however, a religious education is administered alongside it.

Parochial schools, like other Christian schools, may also offer the ability for students to go through sacraments, including First Communion and/or Confirmation.
