Austin College and Career Academy High School (formerly known as Austin Polytech High School, commonly known as Austin High School)[4] is a public 4–year high school located in the Austin neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Operated by the Chicago Public Schools, Austin opened in 1876[5] and was named in honor of Henry W. Austin, a Chicago real estate developer.[6]

Austin shared its campus with two smaller schools; Austin Business & Entrepreneurship Academy High and V.O.I.S.E. Academy High School. After the 2015–2016 school year, the small schools converted into one school and was renamed Austin College and Career Academy High School.[7]
