    Episode 18 | Ron McCowan, Valley Center-Pauma Unified School District
    Jun 13 2024
    In this next episode of Season 2 of "Future Pathways: Superintendents Unplugged", you'll hear from Ron McCowan, the Superintendent of the Valley Center-Pauma Unified School District, during his conversation with guest Hosts, Charles Parisi, the CEO of Cloudcast Media, and Sai Huda, the CEO of Cyber Catch.

    And what did they talk about? Some important and thoughtful topics! But they also uncovered quite a few things which Ron loves to do when he is unplugging!! And what might that be? This father of three loves to be in the outdoors with his family, tend to his avocado tress, and work on his classic cars!

    We also learn that Ron's journey took him from a two times kindergarten student and a struggling learner to a teacher, coach and Superintendent. He also shares the fear and trepidation he experienced during his very first day as a Biology teacher at Orange Glen High School. Also interesting to hear Ron say that perhaps his best coaching came from being a Vice Principal.

    In this next episode of Season 2 of "Future Pathways: Superintendents Unplugged", you'll hear from David Feliciano, the Superintendent of the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District, during his conversation with guest Hosts, Charles Parisi, the CEO of Cloudcast Media, and Sai Huda, the CEO of Cyber Catch.

    And what did they talk about? Some important and thoughtful topics! But they also uncovered two things which David loves to do when he is unplugging!! And what might that be? This father of four loves to be in nature with his family, whether it is camping, hiking, or hanging at the beach with his four children.

    We also learned that David has a very unique journey, one that very much informs his thinking about making students feel connected; he might be one of the few school leaders who went from kicked out of school in his Junior year to a Superintendent. The conversation as to how it happened, why, the level of disconnect he felt - all very instructive for all of us.
