Welcome to the second episode of our Three Pointers Leadership Series.
In this video series, Secured Tech travels across Indiana to connect with the school IT leaders shaping education in their communities. Through candid conversations, we explore leadership, technology, cybersecurity, and the real-world challenges schools navigate every day.
And because this is Indiana, every episode wraps up with Chris Hawkins taking his shot from beyond the arc. Watch to the end to see if he can sink the three-pointer.
For Episode 2, Chris visits with Scot Croner, Superintendent of Wa-Nee Community Schools, to discuss leadership, teamwork, and the importance of building relationships within a school community.
Drawing on his experiences as an educator, coach, and superintendent, Scot shares lessons learned throughout his career and reflects on how leadership often develops through opportunities, mentorship, and a willingness to serve others.
“Education is about relationships. You try to understand the community, understand their culture, understand their beliefs—and let them get to know you not just professionally, but personally.”
Plus, hear what motivates him most about working in education and the impact relationships can have across a student’s journey.
Watch the conversation below to hear Scot’s perspective and learn more about the opportunities and challenges facing K–12 districts today.
And no Three Pointers episode would be complete without a shot from beyond the arc. Will Chris make the shot?
