About the Teacher

Mrs. Francis graduated from Wilkes University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and certification in Elementary Education. Upon graduation, she spent four years as a substitute teacher in the Dallas School District, and then received a position as a first grade teacher at St. Mary's School in Wilkes-Barre. After six years, and following the arrival of her second child, she decided to take some valuable time off to stay at home with her two children. Three years later, she joined the staff of the Dallas School District as a fourth grade teacher at the Dallas Elementary School. After 3 years in fourth grade Mrs. Francis moved to Wycallis Elementary to teach second grade. The 2025-2026 school year will be her 18th year teaching second grade at Wycallis.

Mrs. Francis has two children who both attended schools in the Dallas School District from kindergarten through 12th grade.  Currently, Andrew graduated from Pitt Law and will be starting his new job at a law firm in Pittsburgh, and Alison graduated from  Franklin & Marshall College, and works in Baltimore, Maryland.   She lives in Dallas with her husband Scott, a retired math teacher and football coach,  and her black lab puppy, Olive.
