Our school was founded on struggle as many might remember, but the belief in and advocacy for our young people has always been at the center of that struggle. There is and always has been a vision of equity and access that will be realized through the education of our youth. Over the past 40 years, RCCA has had its highs and lows, but has evolved into one of the premier educational institutions in Chicago with the recent naming of Clemente as a neighborhood Wall to Wall International Baccalaureate Candidate school. Clemente, unlike other schools, will remain a neighborhood school for all of our neighborhood students. We believe strongly that our students deserve a world-class education and that this world class education can be found right here at Clemente. Everyone you talk to in Humboldt Park has a story, an experience, and a belief about Clemente as an institution. We believe that Clemente, as it sits in the shadows of the Puerto Rican flags, is a beacon of hope and strength to our community, as it not only represents Roberto Clemente and his humanitarian efforts, but it has continued to thrive and provide opportunity for our young people despite its many struggles. We are extremely proud of the past 40 years and look forward to 40 more. Roberto Clemente Community Academy International Baccalaureate Candidate School A new future, a new vision, a world class education in our community
