NAVIGATING 2020-2021 AT LEGAL PREP
Dear Legal Prep Families, Students, and Stakeholders,
As we prepare for the 2020-2021 school year, we feel the importance and urgency of our work now more than ever. Legal Prep was founded with the belief that entrepreneurial spirit, creative thinking, innovative planning, and diligent execution can help drive systemic change in Chicago.
Together, we will lean on these founding principles to deliver an outstanding education to our students, create new ways to support our families, redouble our efforts to combat the racial injustices that plague our city, and strengthen our partnerships in West Garfield Park to provide resources to our community.

- CPS Toolkit: Say Their Names - from CPS: “a set of materials and resources to help you foster productive conversations. This toolkit was originally created as a resource for teachers, but now more than ever, it is critically important that we take these conversations out of the classroom and into our homes.”

"The fact that I was able to gain some exposure to legal-themed courses in high school has proven to be incredibly beneficial for me in college.... Looking back on the years I spent at Legal Prep, it’s difficult to put into words how much they mean to me today." |
