For the eighth year in a row, all of the seniors at Chicago’s illustrious Urban Prep Academies have been accepted into college. During the school’s honorary signing day on April 27th, parents and members of the community came out to celebrate the students’ success and honor the life of Yuri Hardy— a student who died due to gun violence in December.
“It is tremendous what they have to go through every day and they still come to school. They still want to pursue this dream of going to college,” a parent shared with ABC 13.
