Boys Republic is a private, all-boys school for troubled adolescents located in Chino Hills, California.[1] It was founded in 1907 by Margaret Fowler.[2] As an adolescent, the actor Steve McQueen was remanded there.[3] In later life, he was known to demand razors and jeans in his contracts so that he could donate them to the school.[4]
