September 14, 2009 – On Monday, the Chicago Bulls, along with Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, General Manager Gar Forman and Tyrus Thomas, held a press conference to officially open the Chicago Bulls College Prep (CBCP), a Noble Street Charter School campus dedicated to providing world-class education for all Chicago students.

The high school campus, a part of the Chicago Public Schools district, will officially open its doors to approximately 229 Chicagoland ninth grade students in the inaugural class (128 males, 101 females).
