Pereiro, who has been the athletic director at Joliet Central since 2021, will succeed Bob Quinn.
Jon Pereiro, who has been hired as Naperville North’s athletic director, is shown on campus in Naperville on Monday, April 22, 2024. Pereiro, who graduated from Loras that spring, was going out, while Quinn, who was about to begin a five-year stint as athletic director for the Duhawks, was coming in.
Pereiro graduated from Sandburg in 2004 and then played football at Loras, where his younger brother Frank later did during Quinn’s tenure. Pereiro began his education career as a social studies teacher at a small school in Cascade, Iowa, before Plainfield Central hired him as boys track coach. “I want to grow that understanding of what sports can be for student-athletes, which is a part of the larger school community.”
“High school athletics have such an important place within the development of student-athletes. I’m so excited that some of my beliefs, in terms of what impact coaches can have on student-athletes, can mesh so well with what a school believes athletics to be.” At Joliet Central, Pereiro implemented new programming where he meets freshmen and sophomore athletes individually and in group sessions four times per year. He also has leadership groups at all levels.
“One of the nice things about Jon is he is committed to working really hard in transition,” Quinn said. “He’s finishing up doing a great job at Joliet Central but has made the time when he hasn’t had responsibilities at Joliet to get to know the staff at Naperville North and the things that we do.
