The movement to Save Senn came about when the Chicago Public Schools announced a plan to take over a wing of our school to install a Naval Academy –a plan that will have a negative impact on many of the excellent programs that exist at Senn HS. These include:

The Junior Academy - one of the city’s first and most successful schools within a school.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) program - which, in 2004, awarded more diplomas than any school in the city after Lincoln Park.

Senn’s nationally recognized Service Learning program - which has helped students perform more than 70,000 volunteer hours in this community in the past 5 years!

A multi-lingual TESOL program that helps kids from 70 different countries learn English… helping to make Senn Chicago’s most diverse school.


Teachers, students, and members of the community want the CPS to know that Senn is a school on its way up, and should not be chopped up. We are calling on members of the Edgewater/Uptown neighborhoods to help us save this community resource.
