Building on Excellence
The Campaign for Whitney Young
Fueled by a legacy of academic excellence, our students go all out every day to develop into the very best scholars, musicians, actors, athletes, doctors, lawyers, dancers, scientists, artists, problem solvers - you name it. It's a place where students can be themselves and become who they want to be.
More than 80,000 students from across the city of Chicago have walked the halls of Whitney M. Young Magnet High School in the 40+years since it opened as the city's very first school of its kind.
After decades of wear and tear, our building is showing its age. It's time to go all in to make much-needed capital improvements.
Please support the Campaign for Whitney Young. With your help we will continue to be an anchor in the community - where students go all out.
