We received over 900 applications last year for the Class of 2015.
Thank you for your interest in Alcott High School for the Humanities.
Our story begins in 2008 with solid leadership from principal David Domovic, steadfast involvement from Alcott Elementary School parents and unyielding support from now United States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
AHSH is located in the West Lakeview/Roscoe Village neighborhoods and is part of a highly regarded pre-kindergarten through cschool in the City of Chicago. AHSH opened its doors to 83 freshmen on September 8, 2009. Since then, we have welcomed two more classes of young learners. Today, Alcott High School for the Humanities is one of Chicago's finest small school options and home to 240 fantastic freshmen, sophomores and juniors who are "learning how to learn" on a daily basis.

Collaboration Fridays
The first, third and fifth (September and March) Fridays of each month have been designated Collaboration Fridays. That means student arrival time is 9:15 a.m. instead of 8:15 a.m.
Blank Canvas Project Underway
The Blank Canvas Project--a community-wide art installation project and fundraiser--is underway at Alcott High School. Want to join in? It's simple:
* Purchase a 6"x6" canvas from the main office
for $20.
* Decorate the canvas in any way you wish.
* Return the canvas to the main office to be
included in the permanent installation in the
main hallway!
That's it!
Our goal is to sell 300 canvases and raise much needed funds for arts integration on campus. Not an artist? Not a problem. Anyone can create a 6"x6" piece of artwork for an overall mosaic to be seen by students, parents and visitors for years to come.
Questions? Contact the main office at 773.534.5970 or download the flyer HERE.
