Goshen Community Schools Welcomes David Wolford as Director of Data Analytics

Goshen Community Schools is pleased to announce the hiring of David Wolford as the  district’s new Director of Data Analytics, a key leadership position responsible for overseeing the district’s  student information systems, state and federal reporting, and the strategic use of data to support student  success and organizational excellence. 

Wolford brings more than 24 years of experience in public education, having served in a variety of leadership  roles that include Director of Technology and Operations, Director of Technology, Educational Technology  Coach, and Special Education Teacher. Throughout his career, he has developed extensive experience  managing complex student information systems, ensuring data accuracy, leading districtwide reporting  initiatives, and supporting school leaders through data-informed decision making. 

As Director of Data Analytics, Wolford will oversee the district’s Student Information System (Skyward),  manage local, state, and federal reporting requirements, ensure compliance with Indiana Department of  Education and federal data regulations, and provide training and technical leadership to staff throughout the  district. He will also collaborate with administrators to analyze student data, improve reporting processes, and  develop meaningful insights that support academic achievement and operational effectiveness. 

“Accurate, reliable data plays an essential role in every aspect of a school district,” said Superintendent Jim  DuBois. “David’s experience managing large-scale information systems, his attention to detail, and his  commitment to serving students and staff make him an outstanding addition to our leadership team. His work  will help ensure we continue making informed decisions that benefit our schools and community.” 

“I’m excited to join Goshen Community Schools and help strengthen the systems that support students,  educators, and families every day,” Wolford said. “Reliable data is about much more than compliance, it’s  about providing educators with the information they need to make the best decisions for students. I look  forward to collaborating with staff across the district as we continue building on Goshen’s commitment to  excellence.” 

Goshen Community Schools welcomes David to the GCS family and looks forward to the leadership and  expertise he will bring as the district continues to use high-quality data to support student learning, improve  operations, and serve the Goshen community.
