COR (Catholic Schools Opposing Racism) is a network of Catholic secondary schools in the Archdiocese of Chicago collaborating to eradicate racism. We are committed to empowering adolescents with experiences that transcend the boundaries of personal, spatial and institutional racism and with the skills to embrace an inclusive world. Our Gospel mission calls us to encourage understanding and respect for all people and to provide learning opportunities that will inspire young people to put their faith into action.

The purpose of COR is to bring together the students and teachers of the Archdiocese of Chicago throughout the school year and, in the spirit of the Gospel, to transcend the boundaries of race and neighborhood. As well as providing diversity skills training, COR uses the arts to bring students together: over the years, students have addressed race and racism through the visual arts, music, storytelling and theater. Our web site records the programs of COR and provides a place for students to respond to racism.

COR was established in the Fall of 1997 in response to the need to build racial and cultural bridges among the over 22,000 students from the then 47 Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Chicago.
