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.
