All students at the Urban Prep school for African-American boys in Chicago have graduated and been accepted into colleges. Cogratulations young men!!!!!

"Ask Rayvaughn Hines what college he was accepted to and he'll answer with a question. "Do you want me to name them all?"

"College is omnipresent at the school. Before the students begin their freshman year, they take a feild trip to Northwestern University. Every student is assigned a college counselor the day the steps foot in the school."

"The school offers an extended day ... and more than double the number of English credits usually needed to graduate."
