Jane Addams High School is a public four-year high school serving grades 9-12. The school is designed to provide scholars with a quality education, utilizing literacy as the focus.
Jane Addams H.S. was established in 1987 as a GED program associated with the Jane Addams Resource Association, a community development non-profit organization which had recently spun off from Jane Addams Hull House. In 1997, the high school became a contracting vendor of the YCCS. In 1999, it secured state recognition status. In 2002, JAHS established itself as an independent 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.
