Calumet High School was a public 4-year high school located in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. It was operated by Chicago Public Schools. Calumet closed after the 2005-2006 academic year due to poor performance and low-enrollment. As a part of the Chicago Public Schools Renaissance 2010 program, the Calumet High School building now is home to two charter schools: Perspectives Leadership Academy, which is located on the third floor,[3] and Perspectives High School of Technology, which is located on the second floor.[4]

Athletics

Calumet competes in the Chicago Public League (CPL) and is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). The school sport teams are nicknamed the warriors. The boys' basketball team were regional champions in 2012-13.[5]
