The Funding Gap We’re Working to Close

Because our student demographics don't qualify us for federal grants, LPHS receives less money per student than the average CPS school. Nearly all available funding goes to staffing, leaving essential elements of the high school experience underfunded.

​

What Your Support Fuels

Your ticket and contributions directly impact the student experience:

• Performing Arts Upgrades – Restoring our well-loved auditorium used by 1,200+ students

• Teacher Development – Training that empowers educators to reach every learner

• Books & College Prep – Academic resources and guidance for future success

• Facility Improvements – Creating a safe, welcoming, and inspiring environment

​

Classy, Comfortable, and Full of Heart

You will enjoy an evening designed to feel elevated without being stuffy, hosted at Mary Jo McGuire’s, the sister bar to Chicago favorite Butch McGuire’s. Think: no tie required, great energy, and a gala full of people who care. We can't wait to see you on Saturday, April 25, from 6 to10 pm!
