A Message from the Principal

Simeon Career Academy is committed to ensuring Wolverines are prepared for college, career and civic life.  Our Early College and Career Education curriculum & instruction are well balanced with Career Technical Education (CTE) Majors, Dual Credit courses with Harold Washington College, and community partnerships which holistically develop students.  

Application for admission to the school is required for all students who are interested in attending.  

Simeon Career Academy offers students a wide variety of after school opportunities, including clubs and athletics. Wolverines are encouraged to engage in any of the after school options as a vital part of their learning and high school experience.
