School history
PACHS was founded by concerned community members in response to a March 1971 study[3] that cited a 71.2% high school dropout rate for Puerto Rican youth.[4] Originally named "La Escuelita Puertorriqueña", the school began in the basement of a Chicago church as a response to alleged Eurocentric curricula and purported negative pedagogical conditions Шаблон:Clarify faced by Puerto Ricans in public schools. By 1974, the school had been moved two miles northeast of [Paseo Boricua],[2] where it remained until moving to its current location on Division.
The Lolita Lebrón Family Learning Center is a satellite program of the high school which integrates educational activities for young adults and children, provides daycare services, and offer classes in women's health and wellness at the high school.[5] In March, 2011, PACHS inaugurated a rooftop greenhouse as an extension of its science lab[6] in order to teach students about urban agriculture and help address the high rates of obesity and diabetes in Humboldt Park, which may explain its 2006 designation as an urban "Food Desert".[7]
