Mission
Resurrection College Prep High School is a Catholic Christian community dedicated to the education of young women, and to the
development of their God-given talents. Convinced of God’s unconditional love and nourished by the Risen Lord, Jesus Christ, we are
committed to the spiritual, ethical, intellectual, physical and social growth of our students.
Sponsorship
Resurrection College Prep High School has been sponsored by the Sisters of the Resurrection for the past 98 years. The order was
founded in Rome in 1891 by Blessed Celine Borzecka and her daughter Mother Hedwig, and the Sisters began their educational
ministry in the United States in 1900 when Sister Anne Strzelecka, C.R. opened Resurrection College Prep High School in 1922.
Central to the Sisters’ mission is the transformation of society by uplifting women through education. Since its founding,
Resurrection has enabled thousands of alumnae to reach their full potential and become leaders of Charity and Truth. Today,
Resurrection incorporates cutting-edge academic programs and activities that prepare young women for success in college, career,
and life.
When the Sisters of the Resurrection recognized that the dwindling number of Sisters would make it impossible for them to continue
operating Resurrection College Prep High School, the Christian Brothers of the Midwest generously stepped forward to welcome
Resurrection into their Lasallian network of schools and an announcement was made in May 2019 regarding the sponsorship
transition. As the transition nears completion, we celebrate that Resurrection College Prep High School will be a Lasallian school in
the Resurrection tradition to honor the school’s past, present, and future.
Lasallian education enriches the whole person through teaching, technology and the development of the student’s cultural,
intellectual, physical, social and spiritual well-being. Lasallian education centers on Catholic values and personal relationships,
emphasizing academic excellence, faith formation, inclusion, respect for the individual, service and social justice. Lasallian education
is rooted in the mission of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, patron saint of teachers, who founded the Institute of the Brothers of the
Christian Schools (De La Salle Christian Brothers) more than 300 years ago. De La Salle transformed education by forming a
community of educators with whom he developed a spirituality of teaching and learning, to give a human and Christian education to
young people, especially the poor. Today, the De La Salle Christian Brothers and Lasallian Partners continue to respond to students
through advancements in teaching, technology and scholarship. In Lasallian communities, educators touch hearts, stimulate minds
and cultivate leadership to prepare students for life, work and service to society and the Church.
Motto and Logo

“Caritate et Veritate.” The motto has been and continues to be central to the values and philosophy of Resurrection College Prep
and is part of the Resurrection approach to education. The motto has been etched into all logos and documents of the school from
the very beginning of the school’s founding in 1922. By expressing and celebrating the words “Charity and Truth” we acknowledge
that God’s love for us is merciful and unfailing. The truth is that God’s love for us is unconditional and from that love we express
God’s love and charity through our own actions. As the Resurrection community, we believe that God calls us to work together for
the resurrection of society, bringing His life and love to all and we represent the Resurrection in this manner.

College Credit Opportunities
Advanced Placement Courses - AP
Resurrection College Prep High School participates in the National College Board Advanced Placement Program. The
Advanced Placement Program courses are taught by our highly qualified faculty and provide students with the
opportunity to experience the challenge of college-level courses while still in the supportive high school environment. At
the end of each AP course, students will take the National AP Exam. The $94 exam fee will be added to the tuition.
Depending upon the exam results, students may earn college credit.
In addition, the College Board recognizes outstanding AP exam performers with AP Scholar designations. AP
courses are intended to challenge students of outstanding ability. Course content in AP courses is broader and deeper,
the pace of instruction is faster, and the need for critical thinking and independent inquiry is critical.
Resurrection students who wish to take an AP exam for an AP course not offered at Resurrection College Prep High
School, but who are enrolled in the corresponding Honors or Illinois Virtual School (IVS) AP course, may take the AP
exam with teacher and counselor approval. Students must prepare independently for the exam. Only students enrolled
in AP courses offered at Resurrection are allowed to take the national exams given for the courses. Questions regarding
AP exam eligibility should be directed to the Assistant Principal for Curriculum and Academics.
College And University Planning
COURSE SELECTIONS
Parents and students should begin to think about career and college plans early so that courses taken in high school
will be selected to meet the subject requirements of the colleges the students wish to attend. It is not too early to
investigate the various kinds of colleges: the liberal arts college, the university, the community college, or the
specialized school. College entrance requirements vary greatly. Students should plan academic programs in high school
that maximize opportunities for admission to college.
College admissions officers are concerned with a student’s overall record. They consider the types of courses selected,
scores on tests such as the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT) and/or the American College Testing Program (ACT),
high school GPA, college essays, extracurricular activities, and the school’s recommendation. They also attach
importance to demonstrated interest, leadership and service.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY ADMISSION
Students who plan to attend a four-year college or university directly from high school should begin planning their
academic programs accordingly, beginning with their freshman year. The expectation of most four-year colleges and
universities is that students will have completed a more rigorous academic program in high school than that required
for high school graduation alone. The subject pattern required by most of our state universities, which are
representative of most systems, is as follows: English, 4 credits; mathematics, 3 credits through advanced algebra; lab
science, 3 credits; social science, 3 credits; plus 2-3 credits of the same world language, the same area of fine arts,
computer science, or vocational education. A detailed listing of admission requirements for our state universities
follows. While these standards are listed as “minimal requirements,” some exceptions may be allowed on a
case-by-case basis at some of the universities in specific programs. If you anticipate a problem, please contact your
Guidance Counselor who will help facilitate consultation with individual institutions for more specific information.

HIGHLY SELECTIVE COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY ADMISSION
Students who plan to attend highly selective colleges and universities should take a rigorous curriculum throughout
their four years in high school. Honors and Advanced Placement courses are likely to be considered strongly in
admission decisions at those institutions. While the specific courses may vary somewhat, a typical pattern of high
school courses needed for admission to more competitive colleges would include the following: English - 4 credits;
Mathematics (beginning with algebra or geometry) - 4 credits; Social Science - 3 to 4 credits; Lab Science - 3 to 4
credits; World Language - 4 credits; Other Electives - 2 credits. Honors courses are not necessarily expected in every
curricular area, but students who excel in two or more areas should take the maximum number of courses in those
areas at the highest level possible. Other factors considered important in selective college admission include special
talents and interests, co-curricular activities, service to the community, leadership, college essays, recommendations,
and college interviews. Geographic and demographic balance may also be a consideration in admission decisions as
well.

topic is required. ACT preparation is ongoing. Students in this Advanced Placement class are required to take the AP
Exam in May.
*BOOK TO FILM (in tandem with Women Writers)

College Prep
Course # 14791
Grade: 12 0.5 Credit
Prerequisite: American Literature One Semester (Fall)
Many novels and short stories, from classic canonical literature to current bestsellers, have been adapted into
critically-acclaimed films. In this course, students will read such literature by international authors, watch the
accompanying film adaptations, and analyze how the two mediums are in dialogue with one another. The
course will include both reading and writing assignments; time in the classroom will be used for college-prep
lectures, film viewings, and Socratic Circle discussions akin to those found college-level courses. Though
literature and critical reading/writing will be the primary focus, students will also be introduced to basic
filmmaking terms, techniques, etc. in order to critically analyze what they watch. Students will choose a final
project in which they synthesize, analyze, and create based on their interpretation of a book and related film.
*MARGINALIZED VOICES (in tandem with Contemporary Literature)

College Prep
Course # 14991
Prerequisite: American Literature One Semester (Fall)
The classics of the canon, while invaluable, largely consist of works by well-known 17th through 20th-century
writers from William Shakespeare and Fyodor Dostoevsky, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. While
other Resurrection courses have delved into essential works by such writers, this course will shine a light on
lesser-known pieces (both old and new) by writers whose works are sometimes overlooked or forgotten.
Reading works by such marginalized voices will provide students with a wider, more holistic understanding of
(and appreciation for) world literature. Ultimately, students will walk away from the course with the
knowledge that popularity and quality do not always go hand-in-hand, that a novel can be great without being
as widely read as canon literature. As a cumulative project, students will read, research, and report on a novel
by a lesser-known author.
*WOMEN WRITERS (in tandem with Book to Film)

Course # 14792
College Prep
Prerequisite: American Literature One Semester (Spring)
Students explore women's contributions to literature through the study of short stories, memoirs, non-fiction
articles, poetry, and novels. Students will learn about the ways in which women were historically barred from
the knowledge and how women broke through those barriers leaving their mark on society and literature. This
course is intended to supplement the student's work in previous English coursework by rounding out her
knowledge of marginalized authors. Students will be able to apply the critical thinking skills learned from this
course in regard to current social issues, such as women in leadership roles and the differences in which

women are treated in various social contexts. The format includes critical thinking, reading analysis,
discussion, synthesis, and writing. A submission to the Resurrection's literary magazine is required.
*CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE (in tandem with Marginalized Voices)

College Prep
Course # 14992
Prerequisite: American Literature One Semester (Spring)
This course focuses on contemporary literature and features works from multiple countries and genres. While
underclass English courses have focused on pre-twenty first-century literature, grammar, vocabulary, writing,
and one major research paper, this course requires students to transfer the knowledge and skills they have
learned in previous English courses (such as annotation, identifying literary devices, and the use of figurative
language while reading contemporary literature) to contemporary literature. Therefore, this senior-level class
requires students to apply the knowledge and skills previously acquired to a variety of genres within modern
and contemporary texts. Students will be required to research, analyze materials, and write papers on
multiple topics corresponding to different genres of contemporary literature.
This course assists students in making the connections that literature, people, politics, social rules, form and
function of a work are ever-changing, yet are still rooted in the past. The students will be asked to apply skills
such as annotation, identifying literary devices, and the use of figurative language while reading contemporary
literature.
*Selection Guidelines:
Semester one Book to Film; Semester two Women Writers (must select in tandem).
OR
Semester one Marginalized Voiced; Semester two Contemporary Literature (must select in tandem).
AP ENGLISH LITERATURE AND COMPOSITION
