Michelle Obama and Prince Harry had a "wide-ranging" conversation with students they popped in on at Hyde Park Academy High School.

CHICAGO, IL - A handful of students at a South Side high school were surprised by visits from two of the most recognizable people in the world on Halloween. Former First Lady Michelle Obama and Prince Harry made a stop at Hyde Park Academy High School in the city's Woodlawn neighborhood Tuesday afternoon and spent about an hour discussing a number of topics with the group.
The two are in Chicago this week for the Obama Summit. The school they visited on Tuesday is right across the street from the future site of the Obama Presidential Center.
