Preparing North Lawndale students for academic and career success requires a solid connection between the what happens in the classroom and the world all around.
At Power House High, creative school design and an innovative curriculum that incorporates questions and themes associated with environmental sustainability and green technology will extend learning beyond the formidable brick walls of the Power House. Lessons will incorporate local experts, unique opportunities, and the abundant resources of North Lawndale and the City of Chicago.
Like all successful Chicago high schools, Power House High will require students to master science, math, language arts, and social studies; foreign language, technology, art, and health will all be core requirements. Power House High will also offer something else: the tools to thrive as a member of the global community of the 21st century.
Students will be expected to demonstrate maturity and personal responsibility, both within the context of the school and wider community. To graduate, every Power House High student must demonstrate accomplishment in each of five important developmental areas: Academic Content, Technology, Communication, Thinking & Learning, and Personal Development.
Power House High students will be prepared to succeed in whatever challenge they might pursue after high school, whether it’s a four-year college or specialized advanced training.
