Mansueto High School

Mansueto High School is a Level 1+ International Baccalaureate public four-year charter high school located in Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is a part of the Noble Network of Charter Schools. It is located at West 47th street between Richmond and Mozart street in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the Southwest Side of Chicago. It is named after donors Joe and Rika Mansueto. Mansueto High School opened in 2016 at a temporary location (51st and Keeler) while its permanent building was under construction. The architectural firm, Wheeler and Kearns partnered with contractors, Bulley and Andrews, to construct the school. Mansueto opened at its permanent location in August 2017. In 2018, the school's design received a Brick in Architecture Award. The site was the former location of the RC bottling plant. Noble is a nonprofit organization that runs 17 charter public high schools and one middle school in the city of Chicago. Founded in 1999, we now serve over 12,000 students, and they come from every neighborhood in the city. Every year, 99% of our seniors are accepted into college before they graduate high school. Our schools are free and open-enrollment – any student who completes 8th grade and lives in Chicago may attend. Noble was founded on many of the same entrepreneurial principles that have built successful businesses—strong leadership, meaningful use of data, and a high degree of accountability. Because success is the only option for our students, we operate on culture of high expectations – for academics, for behavior, and for our students’ futures. We know that college is crucial for future success, so everything we do is to prepare our students for that next step and to combat education inequity in Chicago.
