Meet the Superintendent
Dr. Scott Wyndham became Superintendent of Avon Community School Corporation in the summer of 2020 after several years in district leadership roles. He and his wife moved to Avon so their daughters could attend Avon Schools. He knew when he moved to Avon — and he believes it even more fully now — that ACSC educators and support staff are united in supporting students to realize lofty goals.
