History & Campus Partnerships

Pritzker College Prep first opened its doors in 2006, as one of the first expansion campuses. Since then, we have increased our enrollment to over 700 students and have graduated 3 classes of seniors. All of our seniors were admitted to a four-year college. Of those, 69% have been accepted to Tier 1 rated schools and 40% accepted into the top 50 universities or Liberal Arts colleges in America. A sample of colleges include: Carleton, Connecticut College, Columbia University, Grinnell, Howard, Middlebury, Pomona, University of Pennsylvania, University of Texas, Tufts, US Naval Academy, Vanderbilt, University of Wisconsin, Wesleyan, and Williams. Moreover, 25% of the Pritzker’s Class of 2010 was accepted to the University of llinois – Champaign-Urbana.

Part of our success can be attributed to the generosity of our naming donors, Penny Pritzker and her husband Bryan Traubert. Penny and Bryan have supported the Pritzker campus, and indeed, the entire Noble Network, in many ways. Bryan served on Noble's Board of Directors from 2009 to 2011 and both actively supported Noble's expansion through the Pritzker Traubert Family Foundation. Their committment to high quality education for Chicago's youth also helped found Noble's tenth campus, Johnson College Prep in Englewood.
