South Shore International College Preparatory High School is a public 4–year selective enrollment high school located in the South Shore neighborhood on the south–east side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Opened in 1940 as South Shore High School, South Shore is a part of the Chicago Public Schools district.HistorySouth Shore opened in 1940 as South Shore High School at 7626 South Constance Avenue. During the early days, the school was predominately White; mostly populated by pupils in the South Shore community. By the late–1950s, the community began experiencing an increase in population by African-Americans. Due to this, South Shore which was built to accommodate at total of 2,000; became overcrowded by 1964. Chicago Public Schools and the Chicago Board of Education decided a new school needed to be built to relieve the overcrowding. The plan to build a new extension of the school was implemented in 1965. Construction on the extension building at 75th street and Constance avenue began in April 1966. The extension school was to cost $2.5 million to build and was to be completed by 1967, but was revised several times; gaining a budget of $4.1 million. The extension was constructed by Oak Park Illinois' Mercury Builders between 1966 and completed in August 1969.The new extension opened for students on September 6, 1969.Small Schools (2001–11)Due to South Shore's history of poor academic performance, Chicago Public Schools decided to divide the school into four smaller schools beginning in 2001. The school campus, located at 7527–7627 South Constance Avenue was divided into four small specialized high schools: the School of Entrepreneurship, the School of the Arts, the School of Leadership, and the School of Technology. The small school concept continued until the Chicago Board of Education decided to phase out the school in 2009; completed at the end of the 2010–11 school year.
