Dear Jahn School Community,
What an honor it is to join you at Jahn School of Fine Arts as your new principal! Thank you to everyone who participated in the selection process, especially the LSC and the Principal Selection Committee.
My work in Chicago Public Schools started 22 years ago. Since then I have been a 6th grade teacher, assistant principal and principal in the Hermosa-Belmont Cragin community. I have learned a great deal during my time as an educator, and I bring that experience and my commitment to children with me as I transition to being your principal at Jahn.
As your principal, you can expect me to be thoughtful, caring and committed to leadership and the long term goals of the school. I prioritize inclusivity and care, and am always focused on what is best for children.
I can’t wait to meet you and learn all about you and your kids! Although my first official start date will be September 8th, formal opportunities to connect will be shared with you soon during the transition period as well as when I am full time at Jahn.
Proud to be a Husky,
Dr. Margaret Byrne
