The Percy L. Julian High School met the need for a new facility in a rapidly-growing inner-city area to serve as an expansion to the other district schools, and also provide special teaching programs which were lacking.

Architect was Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Chicago; mason contractor was V. S. Wallgren Company, Chicago.
