Our Mission

JCP exists to provide students on Chicago’s South Side with access to an excellent education.  Our outstanding teachers make four core commitments: to love and believe in our students, to hold high expectations, to do whatever it takes, and to work as a team.  Our students make a commitment to showing Puma P.R.I.D.E. – Perseverance, Responsibility, Integrity, Discipline, and Excellence – in and out of the classroom.
