Paul Robeson High School (simply known as Robeson) is a public 4–year high school located in the Englewood neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Opened in September 1977, Robeson is a part of the Chicago Public Schools district.[5] The school is named in honor of African-American entertainer and athlete Paul Leroy Robeson.

History

Prior to becoming Robeson High School, the school was known as Francis W. Parker High School from 1910–1977. Parker was located at 68th and Stewart Avenue (6800 S. Stewart Avenue) about 100 yards away from the present Robeson location in the Englewood area of Chicago. At the time, The school was located on the same campus with Wilson Junior college and Chicago Teachers College. The new school building was constructed on the former Normal Avenue Park site[6], named for Robeson, opened on September 6, 1977.[7]During the 2003–2004 and 2004–2005 school years, Robeson served as a receiving school for students affected by the closings of Engelwood High School (which was located about 2.5 miles away) and Calumet High School; which lead to Robeson being overcrowded. By the 2014–2015 school year, CPS considered the campus for consolidation due to its low–enrollment.[8]

Athletics

Robeson competes in the Chicago Public League (CPL) and is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). The school teams are stylized as the Raiders for boys' teams and the Lady Raiders for girls' teams. The school's boys' tennis team won IHSA state championships in 1937–1938 and 1938–1939 as Parker High School.[9] Since 1974, when the IHSA began sponsoring a state championship tournament in football, Robeson is the only CPL team, as of the 2010–11 season, to play in a state championship football game, finishing second in 1982–1983.[10]
