Community rallies for West Englewood high school dean who was suddenly let go
CHICAGO -- A beloved school administrator on Chicago's South Side is now out of a job—and neighbors in West Englewood have been talking about it for weeks.Shohn Williams had been dean of students at Lindblom Math and Science Academy, 6130 S. Wolcott Ave. He has the support of former students, who are rallying for him to return to the high school in the fall.While the 2023-2024 school year is over, there is a passionate group that has remained outside Lindblom.
'That was very, very, very, very tough for me, because Lindblom is all that I know.'Williams was not just a dean—he is a Lindblom alum. In fact, in 2019, the Chicago Public Schools retired his basketball jersey as the school's all-time leader.Yet this year, Williams was let go by the new principal. He said he was told it was for budgetary reasons.'I just feel like I don't understand how this happened, and a lot of people are very, very upset,' Williams said.
