John Flanagin is the Director of Technology at Hanover Community School Corporation and has been there for 17 years. He started a year after he graduated from Hanover as a Computer Technician back in 2005.
Hanover has seen tremendous growth over the last few years. During this past year, they built a new Upper Elementary, Administration Center, Bus Barn, Maintenance Building, and Mechanics Building. They also renovated their High School. John has worked closely with their architect, general contractor, vendors, and installers throughout the process.
Looking forward, John’s goal is to continue to strengthen the district’s cybersecurity posture to help minimize or mitigate the impact of a potential cyber threat in the future. Cybersecurity has been a hot topic and John has heard of local attacks recently.
John finds many aspects of his job to be rewarding. As a former student at Hanover, the thing that he values most is seeing the success of the district and how technology helps play a role in that success.
In his spare time, John likes playing games. He enjoys disc golf in the summer and board games in the winter.
