Las Casas Occupational High School was an alternative high school located at 8401 South Saginaw Avenue in the South Chicago area of Chicago, Illinois, United States. The school, a part of Chicago Public Schools (CPS), intended to educate autistic, cognitively delayed, and behavior disordered students so they could take jobs. [1]

By February 2009, CPS announced that the school would close because of building deficiencies and layout problems. [2] The school was given a reprieve, and was eventually closed at the end of the 2010-11 school year. [3]
