City on a Hill Charter Public School II

City on a Hill Charter Public School II (CoaH II) is a charter public high school in Dudley Square, part of the larger City on a Hill Charter Public Schools network. The school opened in 2013 and serves 192 9^th and 10^th graders, and will serve grades 9-12 and 280 students annually by 2016. Over 80% of the students are from low income families. The school mission is to graduate responsible, resourceful, and respectful democratic citizens prepared for college and to advance community, culture, and commerce and to compete in the 21^st century.

All artwork was selected by the students in the CoaH II Art Club. This collection is installed in the school’s main hallways to inspire creativity, create additional opportunities for learning, and to help address the cultural achievement gap between CoaH II students and their more affluent peers.
