A Message from the Principal

Crane Medical Preparatory High School is a CTE Early College STEM School, where we are committed to equipping our students with the tools and experiences necessary for success in an ever-evolving world. Our innovative curriculum is thoughtfully designed to set students on a transformative path to graduate with not only a high school diploma but also an associate degree and a health science certification. We take immense pride in the robust partnerships we have cultivated with esteemed institutions across the Chicagoland area, including RUSH Medical Center, Lurie’s Children’s Hospital, and Malcolm X College to name a few. These collaborations provide our students with invaluable real-world experiences through hands-on learning and internship opportunities, bridging the gap between education and career readiness. At our school, we understand that true growth extends beyond academics. We are dedicated to nurturing every facet of our students' development, fostering their personal, emotional, and professional growth. This includes providing opportunities to excel in athletics and explore their artistic talents, ensuring a well rounded and fulfilling educational experience. Together, we are preparing future leaders, innovators, and changemakers in the health sciences and beyond.
