Background
Since its founding, Hales Franciscan High School has celebrated African-American heritage and endeavored to instill cultural pride. Today, the school continues to be the only historically African-American, all-male, Catholic college preparatory high school in the state of Illinois and one of three such institutions in the nation. The school is a non-profit, independent high school, fully accredited by the North Central Association and certified by the Illinois State Board of Education. In the 2013-14 school year, the school became coed, but returned to an all-male student body for the 2015-2016 school year. On July 27, 2016, the school announced that the 2016-2017 academic school year would be suspended, due to low enrollment and financial struggles.
