Big opportunities start with the right support. 🐾

At CICS Ralph Ellison High School, students are encouraged to work hard, aim high, and take advantage of opportunities that can make a difference beyond high school.

From a supportive school community to the Excellence Award, which gives students the chance to earn money toward their future, Ellison is helping students prepare for what's next.

Looking for a high school where your student can grow and feel supported? Make CICS Ralph Ellison your #1 choice this GoCPS season!

GoCPS families, October is here! 👀

Applications close November 13, which means there’s still time to explore your options, ask questions, and make those final decisions before you lock in your rankings.

Three schools. Three communities. One CICS family.

Whether you’re considering CICS Ellison, CICS Longwood, or CICS Northtown, take another look, talk it over with your family, and think about where you can see yourself calling home for the next four years.

And when you’re ready…

Rank CICS #1.

Chicago 8th Grade Families, 🗣️IT'S GO TIME!

Tomorrow, September 9, GoCPS applications and rankings officially open for our 8th grade students.

As you and your scholar begin making decisions about high school, we want you to take a good look at what CICS has to offer.

We have three high schools across Chicago ready to welcome the Class of 2031:

📍 CICS Longwood High School
📍 CICS Ralph Ellison Academy
📍 CICS Northtown Academy

Each school has its own identity, its own opportunities, and its own community, but all three share the same goal: giving our students a place where they can learn, grow, belong, and prepare for what comes next.

So when that GoCPS application opens…

1. Find the CICS school that's right for you.
2. Add CICS to your application.
3. RANK CICS #1!

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be sharing more about each of our schools so that families can make the choice that’s right for them.

When you log into GoCPS, make sure you check us out, come visit us, ask questions, and most importantly…

💙 DON’T FORGET TO RANK CICS!

Three great high schools. One CICS Family!
