In this newly created role, Serrano will oversee the strategic direction for the sales, marketing, customer success, finance and human resources teams.

“I became familiar with Schoology through direct conversations with school district leaders who raved about the platform’s capacity to facilitate instruction while being easy to use for teachers. The opportunity to connect curriculum, instruction, and assessment in a single platform that teachers love to use is truly transformational,” said Serrano. “I am thrilled to build on Schoology’s success as we accelerate our growth.”
