Leo High School Choir Helps Celebrate a Historic Milestone for Chicago's South Side!

Today, the Leo High School Choir was honored to perform at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Advocate Health Care Hospital at 8000 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive, a transformative project that will bring world-class healthcare services to Chicago's South Side.

This state-of-the-art facility will provide exceptional medical care, health and wellness services, and vital community resources designed to meet the needs of residents for generations to come. Scheduled to open in 2029, the new hospital represents a significant investment in the health, well-being, and future of our community.

We are deeply grateful to have been invited to participate in such a meaningful and historic occasion. As Leo High School approaches its Centennial, we remain committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen and uplift the South Side communities we proudly serve.

Congratulations to Advocate and all of the partners whose vision and dedication are helping make this incredible project a reality. We look forward to witnessing the positive impact this hospital will have on countless lives in the years ahead. 🧡🖤🎶

What an unforgettable evening at the dynamic SPARK Event hosted by Shirley Ryan AbilityLab at Rockwell on the River!

The Leo Choir Boys were truly honored to perform for such an extraordinary benefit celebrating the private donors, friends, and supporters of Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. Being surrounded by individuals who are committed to healing, innovation, compassion, and changing lives was incredibly inspiring.

One of the highlights of the evening was sharing the stage with Brett Gray, MJ on Broadway, as we performed Man in the Mirror and Beat It! 🎶🎤 What an amazing moment for our young men!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the ENTIRE Shirley Ryan team for embracing Leo like family from the moment we visited the AbilityLab through the SPARK event itself. Special thanks to Cari, Anne, Emma, Laura, and everyone who contributed to making our students feel so welcomed, valued, and celebrated. You are now officially part of the Leo Family! ❤️💛

It was truly an honor to be in a room filled with caring physicians, healthcare professionals, innovators, and generous supporters who believe deeply in the mission of Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. The world needs more people like YOU!

Special appreciation to Dr. Pablo Celnik and Dr. Cheri Blauwet….thank you for continuing to make a difference in the lives of others every single day.

THANK YOU for allowing the Leo Choir Boys to be part of such a meaningful and inspiring evening!

A few of the Science students were informed that they would not have to take their final if they got Dr. Rawls to eat dead crickets during our Field Day. Mission accomplished! 🤢🦗

Not only did Dr. Rawls eat several flavored crickets, he recruited Assistant Principal Titus Redmond, alum Charles Watkins, and his friend from LGC, Ed, to join in!

After their delicious bugged out snack, Dr. Rawls took Ed on a school tour.

The real Fear Factor happened at Leo… 👀 What’s next?!

This morning, the Leo High School Choir had the incredible opportunity to visit Shirley Ryan AbilityLab for a truly meaningful experience. We are so appreciative for the chance to tour the facility, learn more about the remarkable culture of compassion and excellence that exists within its walls, and witness firsthand the extraordinary care provided to patients every day.

It was an honor to perform for the patients, physicians, and staff, and to share music as a way to uplift and connect with others. This special visit deeply connected with Leo High School’s mission of service as we prepare for Shirley Ryan’s Spark Event tomorrow evening.

We value and appreciate all those in the healthcare industry who continuously dedicate their lives to serving others with compassion, strength, and hope.
