Take Action
Tell CPS to qualify Senn Arts for future students!
While Senn Arts is protected for current students, we're fighting to keep Senn Arts as is for future students.
Parents of elementary students, your voice is important! Tell your elected school board that you want the current Senn Arts program to be an option for your students.
One Victory, more to go!
On December 19, the Principal of Senn High School notified families that all current Senn Arts students from grades 9-12 would be able to experience full arts program as it was presented to them when they chose to enroll at Senn. After weeks of emailing and calling Chicago Public Schools officials, the parents and students working to save Senn High School’s unique Senn Arts program see this as a great victory but not the end goal.
Read our Press Release in response to this latest news.
Your Attention, Please!
In November, Principal Dacres suddenly announced major cuts to the Senn Arts program that will reduce the total number of guaranteed classes from 8 to 5.
This cut will significantly impact nearly 20% of the Senn Student body—students who chose Senn High School over any other neighborhood, choice, selective enrollment, or private school in Chicago.
OUR MISSION
We are students, families, caregivers, and community members committed to supporting the vibrant and diverse body at Senn High School so they can get the most from their Arts, IB, and Major Studies education programs.
