It would be difficult for any school in America to live up to the reputation of person whose name is Salmon Chase. Mr. Chase (1808-1873) had a distinguished career as a lawyer, U.S. Senator, Governor of Ohio, a Supreme Court Chief Justice and the Secretary of the Treasury during the Civil War. Perhaps his greatest legacy is that of being a staunch abolitionist.
Chase Elementary is a PK-8th grade school located in the Logan Square neighborhood and is home to 415 students. To say that the students are thriving in this dual language school is an understatement as it has a top rating of 1+. The principal of Chase is Raquel Saucedo and she has the good fortune of having some eager learners and teachers. The school, aside from traditional courses also has a strong intramural and music program.
If Mr. Chase were alive today I think he would be thrilled to learn of the ongoing successes at the school.
