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. cite web|url=http://www.halesfranciscan.org/|title=Identiry and History|accessdate=2007-05-11|author=HFHS]

Notable staff

* Jack Ryan (2000-03) left the school to run for the open U.S. senate seat in the 2004 election. While he led in the polls, his campaign was derailed when evidence of marital impropriety came to light. The election was won by Barack Obama. [ [http://www.siu.edu/~ppi/PDF/papers/Obama.pdf John S. Jackson, "The Making of a Senator: Barack Obama and the 2004 Illinois Senate Race" p. 12] ]
