Living near Corliss HS

The area, not just the school

Living near Corliss puts you in Chicago's historic Pullman and West Pullman area on the far South Side, one of the most distinctive neighborhoods in the city. Pullman was built in the 1880s as a planned company town for railroad car workers, and its rowhomes are now privately owned and protected as part of the Pullman National Historical Park, designated a national monument in 2015.

Commuters get downtown access on the Metra Electric District line from the 111th Street and 115th Street stations, and the area remains one of the more affordable and character-rich pockets of Chicago for buyers who want brick historic housing with real neighborhood identity.

The school

About Corliss High School

Corliss opened in September 1974 after far South Side residents petitioned Chicago Public Schools for new high schools to relieve overcrowding at nearby Harlan and Fenger. The school first took its name from its location at 103rd Street and Corliss Avenue, then was renamed George Henry Corliss High School and dedicated to the American inventor George Henry Corliss on May 15, 1976.

Corliss is a Chicago Public Schools Early College STEM high school, joining the district's STEM program in 2012, where students can earn a high school diploma along with college credits beginning as early as 10th grade.

Corliss competes in the Chicago Public League as a member of the IHSA, with teams known as the Trojans. The boys football team reached the IHSA Class 5A state finals three times, and the boys basketball team won Class 2A regional titles in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.
