Mansueto high school logo Continue With Mansueto High School, the Noble Network of Charter Schools has transformed 5.5 acres of industrial brownfield in Chicago's largest park desert into a place of great opportunity for its students (consisting of 98% minority and over 91% low-income.) The school's mission starts with creating a culture for students where the only option is success, both in the short and long term. The design of the school supports this goal, organized around a central green area that emulates a college quadrangle and allows high-schoolers to imagine a college future from day one. The 67,000-square-foot two-storey school structure, with a dark brick exterior and a bright grey metal-paneled interior, wraps almost entirely around a landscaped courtyard. The use of masonry anchors the building's identity, replicates the historical context of the site, provides a sense of protection and shielding of interior features from the traffic noise created along the busy industrial thoroughfare. In addition, the pattern and detailing help to accentuate the horizontality of the building: bricks are installed in a 1/3 running binding pattern, with raked bed joints and slightly concave head joints. Students enter the campus through a cluster of trees. When they leave noise and hustle on 47th Street, the environment becomes calm and quiet. Inside, the hallways on both floors are fronted with white cabinets and walls – except where classroom entrances and water fountains are marked by light yellow. Splashes of color peek through the brick envelope to highlight punched window openings, playfully organized on each façade. All classrooms are aired, with high ceilings, exposed mechanics and a strong dose of natural light; the sky lights up in the gym amplify this effect. Several state-of-the-art science labs have floor-to-ceiling glass windows that overlook the courtyard – which also serves as a different teaching environment. Classrooms along the outer perimeter benefit from the brick structure that absorbs and spreads sound, creating an effective space for learning and listening. Mansueto's sports facilities include a large gym with a regulation-sized basketball and volleyball court. Moving partitions provide an opportunity to use half the space for lunch or assemblies, even if gym classes continue in the other half. Full-height brickwork envelops the building partly to the north, and all the way to the west, south and east, into the courtyard only at the gym volume where it engages the light grey metal panels with a ribbon of clear-story windows. On the east side of campus, a full-size football field borders a footpath and separated from the school building by a grassy berm that can serve as a beer garden for spectators. The school's leopard mascot stretches across the gym's outer brick façade, shimmering against the dark brick to a backdrop for outdoor athletic activities. Environmentally progressive materials and design features are evident throughout the LEED certified building and landscaping. High-performance skylights and windows spread daylight into classrooms and overlook the courtyard and above the building. All areas (except the gym) are mechanically heated and cooled using a Variable Regergerant Flow (VRF) system, which is extremely energy efficient, leading to energy savings and reduced operating costs. The project is one of the first schools in Chicago to use this mechanical system. A rainwater harvesting system from the southern roof provides passive irrigation for the campus, and additional stormwater detention takes place under the peat football pitch and south parking lot. Instead of diverting the extensive amount of existing concrete pavements on site for landfill, the material was recycled and reused on site as replenishment under the slab underclass and landscaping. The asphalt sidewalk was produced with the highest percentage of recycled content allowed by the Illinois Department of Transportation. The new Mansueto High School, with its tight brick street expression, the protected inner courtyard and recreation opportunities provide an ideal environment to reflect the Noble Network of Charter Schools mission for its college-bound students.

It is part of the Noble Network of Charter Schools. It is the newest campus in the Noble Network, and is located on West 47th Street between Richmond and Mozart street in the Brighton Park neighborhood. This is Noble's first and only campus located on the southwest side of Chicago. It is named after donors Joe and Rika Mansueto. Joe Mansueto is the founder and CEO of Morningstar. [2] Mansueto High School opened in 2016 in a temporary location (51st and Keeler) while the permanent building was built from scratch. The architectural firm Wheeler and Kearns collaborated with contractors Bulley and Andrews to build the school. Finally, in August 2017, Mansueto opened on its permanent location. In 2018, the school's design received a Brick in Architecture Award. The place used to house RC bottling facilities. [3] About rector Darko Simunovic is originally from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He came to the United States when he was in the 4th U.S. He received his IB diploma from Lincoln Park High School. He attended Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, and that's where he got very excited about education. This is where he decided to devote his life to education to ensure that all students, had the chance to attend a high-performance school in the city of Chicago. When he graduated from Knox, Simunovic joined Teach For America and taught middle school students in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He always wanted to come back to Chicago, and in 2012 he was the founding assistant principal of Hansberry College Prep, another Noble Charter Schools campus. After four years, he graduated with his advisory — his proudest moment while at Hansberry. One of Ms. Simunovic's biggest goals when she was founded by Mansueto High School in 2016 was to ensure that the school becomes an international Baccalaureate School by 2018 - in time for the founding to participate in the IB program, and he achieved that goal. [4] Academic results In its first three years, Mansueto High School has already experienced student growth. In 2018, 9th grade student growth ranked in the 99th percentile. 64% of 9th grade students and 71.4% of 10th grade students meet college readiness benchmarks, as measured by PSAT, which CPS ranks as above expectations.
