4 CHICAGO ELITE CLASSIC

CHICAGO ELITE CLASSIC 5



On behalf of the entire Executive Board, we want to thank all of our partners for supporting us in the 3rd Annual Blue Cross Blue Shield Chicago Elite Classic. Once again this year’s Classic promises to bring elite level high school basketball to one of the most dynamic cities in the world. As in year’s past, some of the best teams from across the country have traveled to play against some of the best teams Chicago has to offer. This year is no different in that regard, but we have also added two, local-team, rivalry games that will likely be as exciting as the other games. We could not bring to you this great spectacle of basketball without the support of our sponsors. All of our partners are truly appreciated but I would like to recognize some of our special champions of the Classic this year including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Nike, and Dr. Eric Whitaker.

The Classic continues to bring you an opportunity to see some of the future college and NBA basketball stars right here in your backyard. Similar to players like Jabari Parker (Milwaukee Bucks), Jahlil Okafor (Duke University), Cliff Alexander (University of Kansas), and Stanley Johnson (University of Arizona) who have all played in the Classic, this year we have a number of high level, NCAA Division 1 commits headed to schools such as the Universities of Kentucky, Illinois, and Nebraska just to name a few. Along with the highly talented individuals in the Classic we also have many talented and accomplished teams who are either current or past state champions in their respective states. This high level of basketball, along with our mission of creating “Champions For Life”, is why we believe that the Blue Cross Blue Shield Chicago Elite Classic is the premier high school team basketball event in the nation.

The Chicago Elite Classic is committed to developing professional athletes with strong values and good character on and off the court. This year our engagement with participating schools will extend beyond the Chicago Elite Classic to include workshops and seminars in host schools around topics that lead to success on and off the court. The Chicago Elite Classic is compelled to develop the “Champions For Life Campaign” that will include additional coaching and support on life skills and leadership to support the students, coaches, and participating schools. We believe that building “Champions for Life” can help stem the violence that is plaguing our nation. The endgame is to develop young men of excellent character who win at the game of life by contributing positively to our communities, our cities, and our world. That’s why our commitment goes beyond the games.

Once again, on behalf of the entire Chicago Elite Classic Board, we would like to thank you for your attendance and participation and we hope you enjoy the event. Also, you can continue to stay in touch with us throughout the year by visiting us at www.chicagoeliteclassic.com or following us on Twitter. See you in December 2015.

Whitney M. Young Magnet High School is very excited to host this third annual event with a school partner, Simeon Career Academy High School. Whitney Young is a college preparatory school 7th – 12th that has been recognized by the United States Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School for Academic Excellence. It continues to be recognized by U.S. News and World Report and Newsweek as one of the top high schools in the country. Whitney Young is also known for its successful extracurricular activities. Whitney Young has a history of being known as the “School of Champions.” We have won state titles in chess, girl’s and boy’s basketball, academic decathlon, cross country, and debate. We have also been awarded gold medal status for our band program. Our motto is “Where Academic Excellence is the Standard” and we attempt to instill this excellence in every aspect of our school.

We are also elated to engage in meaningful partnerships with various companies and organizations, the City of Chicago under the leadership of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and basketball teams locally and from other cities. Chicago has been traditionally known for its outstanding basketball programs. This elite showcase will highlight the extraordinary talents of our student athletes who are competing, but also give us an opportunity to showcase our city and what it has to offer. As a former college cheerleader and a physical education instructor, I believe athletic experiences positively impact students’ lives. They give meaning and purpose to educational institutions. The Chicago Elite Classic coupled with these fantastic partners will provide a long lasting impression on everyone who is affiliated and attends both or either session. Further, it will afford our visitors to Chicago an opportunity to enjoy high school basketball in a family friendly atmosphere.

Please feel free to contact us at www.wyoung.org with any questions about our school and the wonderful programs it offers.

Sincerely,

Joyce Dorsey Kenner, Ed.D.Principal Whitney M. Young Magnet High School

Young Magnet High School has a tradition of academic excellence and ethnic and cultural diversity. Whitney Young’s motto, “Where Academic Excellence is the Standard,” is embraced by students, teachers and administrators who work together as a community. “We are committed to the holistic development of the student --emotionally, physically, intellectually, morally and socially. We believe in providing our students with intellectually stimulating learning activities,” says Whitney Young’s principal, Dr. Joyce D. Kenner. Whitney Young boasts a diverse student body: 25.1 percent African American, 24.4 percent Latino, 16.7 percent Asian, and 29.3 percent Caucasian. In both the academic program and extracurricular activities, students of various backgrounds learn that their assorted talents can accomplish greater goals collectively.

The school has three programs of study: The Magnet High School Program for grades nine through 12, The Academic Center for 7th- and 8th-graders, and the Specialized Services Program for the deafand hard of hearing, CD (EMH and TMH). The instructional program in all areas stresses the development of critical thinking skills and the inclusion of multicultural curricula.

Simeon Career Academy is named after Neal Ferdinand Simeon, a man who was vitally concerned with

the social problems in the area of vocational education. Mr. Simeon’s interest in the vocational training of

Chicago’s youth was evident to all who observed his tireless devotion.

His years of educational training and development while at Illinois Institute of Technology and

Northwestern University helped him lay the foundation to improve vocational programs. His blueprint of

practices can be seen throughout the many current career programs in Chicago Public School.

Although the world suffered a great loss on August 28, 1963, when Mr. Simeon passed, his efforts and

practices continue to inspire and encourage. Simeon Career Academy is named after a great man,

leader, believer, and forward thinker. It is evident in the strides the school continues to make.

Simeon the home of the mighty Wolverines is where great minds are shaped and nurtured. The curriculum

is a true connection between college prep and careers. The heart and minds of students remain in the

forefront of all goals. All programs support the “whole” student.

Simeon offers programs that prepare students to meet the demands of the ever changing world. We are

known for our powerful academic and athletic programs. Throughout the city, Simeon is known for having

a nurturing and supportive learning environment. All hands are on deck to support students. Our job is to

push students to the next level.

“Excellence is the only option” guides our every word, action, and interaction. We work to ensure that

every Wolverine becomes who they were born to be. We teach students to believe in greatness. When

great teaching and endless learning takes place, students excel.

We hold ourselves accountable for who our students will become. For those who are uncertain about their

future, we are responsible for creating dreams and goals to guide them. Excellence is the only option!!!!!!
