In this episode of Elevated Insights, Superintendent Dr. Mark Ernst sits down with three outstanding district leaders recognized at the Annual Recognition Banquet. Lisa Erickson, Dorothy Norrington, and Megan England represent the growing group of certified non-teachers whose work often happens behind the scenes but makes a lasting impact on students, teachers, and schools.

They share their journeys from the classroom into specialized roles, discuss how their work supports instruction and student success, and reflect on what it means to be recognized for contributions that are not always visible. This conversation highlights the teamwork, trust, and shared commitment that help schools thrive.
