“I want to say to all of you – feel all of it,” the governor said at his daily news conference about the coronavirus outbreak. “We are living in a deeply unprecedented moment, and holding the emotional ramifications of that inside will only be harder on you. It’s OK to feel, and please know you don’t have to feel it all alone. I want you to know that we’re here to help.”

Association House of Chicago

Association House High School is proud to celebrate a Level-1+ rating, citing the school as "good standing." Level-1+ is the most desired ranking in the Chicago Public Schools system. The rating system utilized to determine the rating is a combination of test scores, academic growth, graduation rates, attendance and a survey on the school climate that is given to teachers and parents each year.

We are currently open for enrollment for the second semester. Fill out our form here or pass the below flyer to someone that you may know in need of a new school home: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdd1Xh97wyit7fjCvn4DVQ2NzJ8k_xL9dTym5U2CxsDz6SV1w/viewform
