MR. JOHN FRANCIS

Principal 
John Francis believes that education is best done in collaboration. Working with the staff and students in support of learning is what drives him daily. He received his undergraduate degree in Education with a minor in Health from the University of Wisconsin in 2004. In 2005 he moved to Oswego to begin his career as a teacher. While teaching 4th and 5th grade, John received his administrative certification from Concordia University. After six years of teaching, he was fortunate enough to help lead three different elementary schools in Oswego before being asked to help lead Bednarcik as an Assistant Principal. . Since the 201502016 school year, John has led Bednarcik as principal and couldn't dream of doing anything different! 
Francis lives in Oswego with his wife, Tiffany, and their two sons, Beckham and Luke. He has a passion for supporting students and helping them grow academically, behaviorally, and emotionally.

MRS. PRYOR

Assistant Principal
Jennifer Pryor believes that all students can learn when there is a foundation built between the teacher, the student, and the parents based on mutual respect, trust, openness, acceptance, and curiosity. Education is not one-size-fits-all but should be customized to engage the student’s knowledge, experiences, and interests to generate excitement for learning. Jennifer received a Bachelor's degree in Professional Arts (2000) and Masters Degree in Health Care Administration (2002) and worked in health care for 10 years before transitioning into education. She spent the last 13 years at Joliet Central High School teaching Health Science, Medical Law & Ethics, and Health Information Technology. In 2020, she completed a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership. She is very excited to join the Bednarcik Junior High family. She looks forward to working with all the students, staff, and families to contribute to the process of growing students both academically and socially into independent young adults, ready for high school.
