Leadership Stories: Inspiring Journeys of Global Icons-2025

Education leaders play a critical role in guiding the strategic direction of an organization’s initiatives while shaping its vision through evolving goals that respond to the dynamic and often unpredictable demands of the educational landscape. Once these leaders define clear objectives, educators can translate that vision into accessible, high-quality online learning solutions. These solutions provide students with the opportunity and flexibility to earn credits toward graduation and advance academically in ways that are both effective and adaptable.

By consistently demonstrating this type of educational leadership, Megan O’Reilly Palevich, the Executive Director at Stanza Education Corporation (which includes Holston Academy, and online private school, and Palm Beach International Academy, a microschool in Boca Raton, Florida), cultivates a highly impactful educational experience that meets the diverse needs of each student.

Her strategic approach also emphasizes the importance of building strong partnerships with schools, educators, and industry leaders, which creates a sustainable ecosystem that increases educational access and leads to student success.
