Roberto Clemente Community Academy (RCCA) is located in Chicago's Ukrainian Village, on the West Side of the city. The Principal is Mrs. Marcey Sorensen.
The school takes its name from the famous Puertorican baseball outfielder, Roberto Clemente, who lost his life while bringing relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua, on New Year's Eve 1972. Roberto Clemente Community Academy serves a community which used to be predominantly Puertorican.
Today, the school population of about 1,400 students is quite varied, including large groups of students of both Puertorican and Mexican descent, as well as African American and East European students (mostly of Ukrainian and Polish extraction).
