History
The school was named after artist William Merritt Chase, and was founded to educate dropouts and at-risk students.
It was established in 1993 as Ambridge Alternative Middle School and was originally an alternative middle school serving the 6th through 8th grades.[1] It was originally located at the site of the former Ambridge Elementary School. In 1996, it moved a short distance to the former site of the Chase Elementary School after that school closed.[2][3]
In 2003 the Martin Luther King Jr. Academy moved its operations to the school.[4] The Gary Community School Corporation closed the school in June 2009.[5] It was one of seven Gary public schools closed in that year.[6]
In 2020 the Chase school building was sold to a private buyer for $35,000.[7]
