Michael Petty+FollowA Wicker Park icon closes after 150 yearsSt. Stanislaus Kostka Academy, a cornerstone of Wicker Park since 1874, is shutting its doors for good at the end of this school year. For generations, this school has been more than just a place to learn—it’s been a hub for the local Polish community and countless families. With enrollment dropping and funding drying up, the school faces a $500,000 deficit it just can’t overcome. The church will stay open, but losing the academy is a huge shift for the neighborhood. How do you think this will change the fabric of Wicker Park? #Education #WickerPark #Chicago00Share
