I’m thrilled (and still a little in awe) to share that I’ve officially been named the Superintendent of North County Christian School! 🙌🏽 This new chapter is more than a career move—it’s a full-circle, God-ordained moment that reminds me how faithful He is, even when the path doesn’t look like what we expected. Sometimes God shifts us off the track we were so sure about—not to delay us, but to develop us. To strengthen our skills, sharpen our focus, and bring us back into alignment with His purpose. And now, I can see how every twist, turn, and detour prepared me for this moment. I’m also excited because this role doesn’t replace my heart for coaching, leadership development, or the Empowered Pathways mission. It actually deepens it. Leading a school while continuing my consultancy work allows me to stay connected, do the work with others—not just for them—and continue creating tools and trainings that are rooted in real, lived leadership. I’m still here. Still cheering for you. Still walking with you. And now—walking into a God-sized assignment with a bigger toolkit and an even deeper “why.” Thanks for being part of this journey with me. Love y’all big. 💜 #EmpoweredEducator #NextYes #GodAlignment #FaithFilledLeadership #SuperintendentSeason #ConsultantAndLeader #LeadOnPurpose

Like the mafia, you try to get out but they pull you back in! Congrats!

Happy Wednesday! I’m all about personal growth, so I’m usually deep into a book that’s helping me level up. But let’s be real—I’m more likely “reading” it through my earbuds. 😄 Of course, I balance it out with a mystery novel for fun—because who doesn’t love a good twisty plot? What’s on your reading list? Or should I say, your listening list?

I just finished up "Dare to Lead" by Brene Brown. Excellent book that works well with my next read, "5 Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni. Both are great leadership books that translate well to education.

My word this year is "trust." I am using it with my entire district as well as myself. I need to build trust with others as I engage in a new role and I also need to trust myself. I find myself not trusting my instincts or my skill sets. I want to work on improving the imposter syndrome I "gift" myself. Right now its a start but I feel like I am gaining momentum.

I am John Fortney, formerly from Missouri, now a superintendent in the wonderful state of New Hampshire. I have been in education for over 20 years as an alternative teacher, AP, high school principal and superintendent. My wife is a retired SPED admin and we love to be outside. I love learning from people. And, if you need a hype dude, I'm your guy!
