Why Your Support Matters
Bridging the Gap for Hancock Students.
John Hancock College Preparatory High School serves a diverse community of students on Chicago's Southwest Side. Public funding alone cannot cover everything students need to thrive — academically, socially, and beyond.
Friends of Hancock exists to bridge that gap. We fund academic enrichment, college preparation resources, extracurricular activities, family engagement programs, and the operational capacity of our parent-led organization.
