In the meantime, his players held and organized practice on the same day. NOTE: this coach has a high round draft pick and several committed D1 players on his team. They certainly needed a commitment from their coach. If 1 of his players missed practice to attend the Cubs game, there would be severe consequences. Do as I say not as I do! So much for being a "role model". Buyer beware with the Mt. Carmel baseball program.

I really appreciated that the school met them where they were at and built from there. I can say that of nearly every teacher they had during their 11 years at Ancona. The community is very engaged and feels like a small village in a big city. The results have been great as both of my sons have done great in HS, socially and academically, building on the foundation Ancona gave them.

If you are considering Kenwood, and especially if you are a neighborhood family looking for a strong option WITHOUT having to schedule in a long commute, Kenwood is an excellent choice. Also, there are MANY ways for parents to get involved and I strongly recommend joining "Friends of Kenwood Academy," (FOKA) which is the philanthropic fundraising organization run by parents, alumni, and community members. FOKA raises money for the school to help bridge the gap between what the school provides to fund a top-notch education and what the CPS provides.
