School is plain terrible. All fights & no learning. Girls are often beaten by other girls for sometimes no reason

I’m disappointed in Morgan Park. I got suspended and jumped. I notified staff about it multiple times and no action was done. I’m bruised and scratched up off of something I told staff about countless times. That school is not safe nor civilized. Y’all don’t protect us students. I did what I was supposed to and no action at all was in place. I told y’all I was going to get hurt and y’all treated me like an id number. I really pray for the kids there who try to do the right thing ,try to prevent situations but coming to administration and seemed to failed by the ones who vowed to protect

Do not, I repeat, do not send your child here for the AC program. The teachers are there only for a paycheck. When a student needs additional help they are told "We just went over this, you should know it already". Wanted to get my child a math tutor. Told her to ask her teacher where her weakest point was, and he told her, "How am I supposed to know?" I have lots more complaints but not enough space. If I could I'd give this school no stars, I would. Just don't do it.

I graduated from this school, and every time I call to get help with records, such as transcripts, or immunization records, there is no one there to answer the calls, and their voice mails are always full. Can they all be that lazy that not one of them can pick a call. Unreal!

This review is only for the auditorium. It needs help. I was just here for a fashion show that the seniors put on, supporting the little sis and her friends.

I'd never been inside of the school before and was amazed by its size. In trying to get to the auditorium, we had to walk around the entire length of the school. In looking at the size of the school, I was thinking that the actual auditorium would be bigger. It wasn't. The auditorium at my school was much bigger. We were lucky enough to have two auditoriums, one big and one small, and I think this one was about in the middle of

I graduated from Morgan Park in 1967. Before attending Morgan Park High School I went to Academy of our Lady for two years. I wanted to go to Morgan Park so bad that I used to sneak in to Morgan Park when Academy of Our Lady had Teacher days. I would sit in there study hall. and some other classes. Finally my mother let me attend Morgan Park in my Junior year. It was the best time of my life. Kinda like looking back on the show Happy Days. Loved walking to school, only lived two blocks away on Church street. It was so neat walking with every one on my Block to school. We called it the Church

Morgan Park HS a.k.a. Empehi.
My mother went here & so did I.
It was a looooooooong time ago...........

Things I remember:

There were sororities & fraternities that had been in existence since my mom's day. Yes, in high school. They had rushes, pledging, the whole shebang. Was I in one? Yeah.....hahaha.

I remember wearing the school colors, green & white, looking like a cheerleader, on the football game days. I wasn't a cheerleader 'cause football is not my thing & I rarely went to the games.
I did help Mr. Midtaune grade physics tests, that was interesting
