For a century, Chicago's Roger C. Sullivan High School has been a home to immigrant and refugee students.

These young people came from thirty-five different countries, speaking more than thirty-eight different languages.
In Refugee High, award-winning author Elly Fishman offers a riveting chronicle of the 201718 school year at Sullivan High, a time when anti-immigrant rhetoric was at its height in the White House. Even as we follow teachers and administrators grappling with the everyday challenges facing many urban schools, we witness the complicated circumstances and unique needs of refugee and immigrant children. Heartbreaking and inspiring in equal measure, Refugee High raises vital questions about the priorities and values of a public school and offers an eye-opening and captivating window into the present-day American immigration and education systems.
