Playground Construction Starting!

Work on our new playground has begun with a targeted completion of mid-fall 2022. They are currently working on the main stairs as well, so the Fletcher and Wolcott entrances are both blocked. The basketball court and soccer field are still available for use. When visiting the building, please arrive at the Belmont doors and call the main office at 773-534-5500.

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 newly selected principal of Jahn School of Fine Arts, I look forward to working with you throughout the coming 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 during this school year. 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

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.
