Innovative New Education Partnership MPHS and Saint Xavier

Earlier today, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Saint Xavier University President Christine Wiseman, CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett and I announced an innovative new educational partnership between Saint Xavier University (SXU) and Morgan Park High School (MPHS). The talent and resources of Saint Xavier will compliment the planned expansion of the International Baccalaureate program at MPHS. Together, they will dramatically enhance the caliber of our neighborhood high school.

Through this partnership, MPHS students will participate in both summer programs and actual college courses on the SXU campus. While there, they will have access to a wide variety of support services typically offered to incoming freshman including training on time management, note taking, college writing, health and wellness, career services, and much more.

Saint Xavier will also bring their expertise to Morgan Park providing guidance to parents and students on the application process, writing personal essays, and financial aid options. Once students have finalized their college plans, Saint Xavier will offer information sessions to help prepare students and parents for the transition to college life.

MPHS teachers will also benefit from this partnership. SXU will provide professional develop opportunities covering the most recent advances in teacher practices, assistance with the shift to wall-to-wall IB format, and specific subject area focuses.

Finally, the partnership will facilitate an expanded student teaching relationship between the two schools. SXU student teachers will fulfill both their observation and student teaching requirements at Morgan Park High School. This relationship will establish a pipeline of young IB certified teachers with CPS experience to fill the ongoing need for great instructors.

I have worked with leadership from Saint Xavier University, Chicago Public Schools, and Morgan Park High School on this project for over two years. SXU's involvement will greatly benefit both the students and faculty at Morgan Park High School and have a significant impact for years to come. None of these programs would be possible without strong support from both school's administrations. Thanks to Mayor Rahm Emanuel, CPS CEO Barbara Byrd Bennett, Saint Xavier President Christine Wiseman, and MPHS Principal Carolyn Epps.
