Simon Gratz High School

This mural by Calvin Jones depicts children and school activities at Simon Gratz High School in the Nicetown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the mural, different groups of students clean up the school, study, and participate in sports and other extracurricular activities. Another group is shown in graduation caps and gowns alongside images of famous figures and anti-drug messages. The overall message of the mural is that academic success is possible, and achievement is possible through participation and hard work.
