Southside schools are known to be underfunded by Illionois but in the face of this one school has acheived something beyond amazing! Every single senior from their graduating class is accpeted to college, that’s 52 seniors from Fenger Academy High School.

This is a first for at least 20 years and they’ve done this despite the past controversy when the beating to death of student Derrion Albert was caught on video in 2009 and facing limited resources and ongoing cuts.

Senior Shacretta Bernard told the press:

“We’re trying to leave a legacy,”

“You are your own motivation. Work on yourself first.”

And to boot, they have nailed almost $2million in scholarships!

WOW, just WOW! Imagine what this place could do if it actually had the resources it deserves!
