Over the past 3 years, Harper has made significant leaps and bounds in the areas of academics, attendance, school culture and climate. Under the leadership of Principal Kenyatta Stansberry, we have strived to make Harper a safe school, where student achievement and community involvement are of high regard. Many of these changes took place during our transition to a Turnaround School Initiative. We are proud to say that Harper has become a model for the Office of School Turnaround. John Marshall High School, located on Chicago’s west side, will become the 3rd school that will undergo this Turnaround Initiative. Marshall also experiences some of the same challenges as did Harper, and therefore, becomes a prime candidate for this Turnaround initiative.
