A Message from the Principal

Cameron Magnet School of the Arts, where our motto is "Cougar Today, College Tomorrow," provides the children of West Humboldt Park with a well-rounded educational experience designed to prepare students for success in high school and post-secondary opportunities.  Students receive balanced literacy reading instruction, rigorous math and science instruction, access to the Fine Arts, and more physical education than most students.  We also focus on providing students with social-emotional learning opportunities and support from our partner social service agencies.  With the support of our families and our community, Cameron is climbing the charts of neighborhood school academic performance in CPS, and we are on our way toward a Tier I designation!
