Listen first.
Every school has its own story. We begin with your people, your priorities, and the realities of your day.
About School Pro
Built by a school leader.
For the work you do.
Built from the work of leading schools. Here for the people doing that work today.
Meet the founder
Dr. Eric Skanson
Founder · Practicing school leader
Eric leads School Pro with the perspective of someone still doing the work. He serves as Executive Director of STRIDE Academy in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and earned his doctorate at the University of Minnesota.
His experience across classrooms, coaching, and school leadership shapes a practical approach: understand the people, ask useful questions, and help good ideas become meaningful next steps.
Based in Cold Spring, Minnesota, School Pro connects that local, personal approach with a nationwide network of education professionals.
Where it started
On your side
of the desk.
School leadership is personal. The decisions are yours to make, but the work touches an entire community.
School Pro grew from Eric’s experience as a teacher, coach, principal, and practicing school leader. He knows the value of having someone to call who understands your world and can help you see a way forward.
That is the heart of School Pro: making trusted connections easier to find and support more personal, practical, and grounded in the work of schools.
Your next move should feel clearer. And you should have someone beside you as you make it.
