Brad Janzen
Brad Janzen served as the elementary school principal at Illini Bluffs for 33 years. He was hired into the newly formed Illini Bluffs School District in 1970. At one time, Mr. Janzen drove between 5 individual school buildings that made up the elementary portion of the district. He was the "driving force" in bringing all students onto one campus. In 2001, Mr. Janzen became the first principal of our new elementary school which did bring all IB students under one roof. Mr. Janzen retired in 2003, but his memory lives on at IB where the elementary school commons are dedicated in his honor.
