Family Tree Relatives Found
The Chicago Public Schools began the practice of naming schools for individuals in 1858. In 2000, the Partnerships office set about finding a living relative for all of the honorees commemorated by the names of our schools.
We have located living relatives of the school namesakes listed below. Please help us find additional relatives of these individuals. Email editor@CPSalumni.org
