Hales Franciscan High School (known simply as Hales) was a private 4–year all–male catholic high school located in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois.

Since its founding, Hales Franciscan High School has celebrated African-American heritage and endeavored to instill cultural pride.

Today, the school continues to be the only historically African-American, all-male, Catholic college preparatory high school in the state of Illinois and one of three such institutions in the nation.

[citation needed] The school is a non-profit, independent high school, fully accredited by the North Central Association and certified by the Illinois State Board of Education.

In 2019, the school closed permanently due to declining enrollment and financial struggles.
