About the Administration
Jodi Ancel, Principal
 |
This is Mrs. Ancel’s 2nd year as Principal of Old Post.
Before coming here, she was the Assistant Principal at Fox
Chase. She grew up in Plainfield and still lives there with
her husband, two sons, Jay (17) and Jake (11), and 2 dogs,
Mojo and Emma. Mrs. Ancel got her Bachelors Degree from
Illinois State University and her Masters Degree from
Northern Illinois University. She taught in Plainfield for
18 years before coming to Oswego. She always wanted to be a
principal because of her love for helping children.
Mrs. Ancel is thrilled to be a part of the Old Post
Community. The students are friendly, respectful, and show a
love for learning! The faculty and staff are extremely
talented, knowledgeable, fun, and love children. The parents
work as a team with the school to make each day a positive
educational experience for the students.
Besides being a principal, Mrs. Ancel loves to shop, travel,
play golf, and relax with family and friends. She collects
teddy bears and Willow Tree angels. |
Keith Griffin, Assistant Principal
 |
Mr. Griffin has been a familiar face at Old Post for the
past 9 years. During these years he taught third and fourth
graders as a classroom teacher. He really enjoys being part
of the Old Post learning community. Mr. Griffin is
especially fond of the relationships that he has formed with
students, parents, and staff members throughout his
experience as a Wildcat.
Mr. Griffin is originally from Florida, but spent the
majority of his childhood in Aurora, Illinois and currently
lives in Montgomery. He received his Bachelors Degree in
Elementary Education from Eastern Illinois University and
his Masters Degree in Educational Administration from
Northern Illinois University.
When he’s not at school, you can find Mr. Griffin reading a
good book, working in the yard, traveling (the Western US is
a favorite spot), jogging, biking, hanging out with family
and friends, or playing a round of golf. |
Judy Malnick, Principal's Secretary
 |
Mrs. Judy
Malnick was born and raised in South Dakota, where she
graduated from Dakota State University. She has lived in
Illinois with her husband, Greg, for the last 29 years. They
have two sons, Nicolaus (31) and Aaron (28). Mrs. Malnick
began her career in District 308 at Boulder Hill School,
first as a teachers’ assistant, and then as the attendance
secretary. When Old Post opened in 1997, she became the
Principal’s Secretary.
Mrs.
Malnick enjoys working with children, parents, and staff.
Every day is different, and she enjoys the variety of
duties. A sense of humor, a friendly disposition, a joy of
being around children, and a need to be able to juggle
several tasks simultaneously is a must for her job. Mrs.
Malnick also enjoys reading, playing Bunco, board games and
cards, taking walks, and lunching with friends. She collects
paperweights and angels.
