Principal Message - April 30th

Our school year is quickly passing by.  Before you know it, our 2023-24 school year will be a memory to revisit via our yearbooks (hopefully, you made sure to pre-purchase one).  Before this school year ends, there will be lots of things happening on campus.  Please take time to cherish each and every moment.

Principal’s Message

Greetings Jahn Families and Community!
 
It is with great pleasure that I write to you as a committed member of this great institution of learning. As the principal of Jahn School of Fine Arts, I look forward to working with you throughout the school year. I am extremely excited to be a part of the Husky family and look forward to the continuance of great work on Wolcott Street.
 
I am honored to lead this work alongside you, and I am confident we will accomplish amazing feats together. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have around things happening at Jahn. Here’s to the start of our powerful partnership.
-Dr. Derrick Kimbrough, Principal

Empowering Creative Thinkers

 
Our students are the center and soul of our school. At Jahn, we strive to empower them to be lifelong learners and use the arts as communication, creative personal realization, connectors of culture and history, a means to wellbeing, and community engagement.
