Located at 1841 N. Springfield Ave. in Chicago, the McAuliffe Elementary School serves the Logan Square and Hermosa neighborhoods and is named after Sharon Christa McAuliffe, a teacher that boarded 1986's ill-fated space shuttle trip. Built in 1991, McAuliffe Elementary School sits on 2.4 acres and is designed to reflect the architecture of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Enrolling 634 students, McAuliffe Elementary stresses science, technology, engineering and math in the classroom, but offers students a vast selection of extracurricular programming. Students can participate in design and sketching, instrumental lessons, art production, drama, dance and music appreciation courses in opera and rock n' roll. Every year third through eighth grades attend the school's annual science fair.
89 percent of McAuliffe Elementary School's staff have been teaching for at least three or more years and students enjoy an average class size of 25 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 17-to-1.
McAuliffe's Learning Garden was launched in 2013 to provide children with an outdoor learning environment that includes edible plant life and an agricultural focus. Partnering with the Logan Square Neighborhood Association (LSNA), the McAuliffe Elementary School works with the community to support an academic mission that generates "confident, creative, and critical thinkers."

McAuliffe pushes students to be the best versions of themselves, as a former student I had teachers constantly pushing me to do my best, they have left meaningful impacts in my life. They have thought me to always do my best.
