Enjoyed every minute of high school at Gage Park. I have been able to work with some important members of the city of Chicago like Father Phleger and Jesse Jackson. I received many opportunities while attending this school. Teachers were heavily involved in students graduating and moving forward on to college.

Gage park is a very diverse school. The teachers each have there own special way of teaching that appeal to the students. They also care a lot about the students and help them learn what they need to become successful in the future. The Instructors are also there to help you with any questions you may have about colleges or your future. They also make sure that all students have some type of plan of what they want to do after high school.

That being said, there is still so much that needs to change like more after school programs, more freshmen enrollment, more curricular, and better parent involvement in the school committees.
