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