Walker School isn’t going to be the same when students return in the fall for the 2024-25 school year.
That’s because Kristin Jung, who has been a fixture in first- and second-grade classrooms, won’t be teaching at the Clarendon Hills school for the first time since 1990. She is retiring at the end of the current school year.
“I feel fortunate to live in the community where I grew up and to have been a part of such an amazing school community,” she said. “I really enjoy getting to know the kids and helping each one get better at whatever it is that they are learning. Each child is different and has a variety of strengths and weaknesses. I love being able to help them reach their learning targets and see them succeed.”
Chisausky said that as the Walker School principal, he will miss Jung’s willingness to change and evolve as students’ needs evolved over time. “We are hoping to go to Australia in 2026,” she said. “We will also spend more time in Florida during the winter. I am sure I will sub a little bit, and we are expecting our first grandchild this fall, so we are excited about that.”
