Episode 297 | Faith, Family, and Leadership: Heather Gross’ Story

Nov 4, 2025 | Conversations with Trailblazers

In this episode, Alex talks with Heather Gross, superintendent, educator, wife, and mom of four, about life, faith, and the challenges of leading in today’s culture. Heather opens up about raising kids—including two sons at the Air Force Academy—navigating the highs and lows of education, and living out her Christian faith authentically in the public eye. From balancing family, church, and sports to standing firm in biblical truth while showing love, Heather’s story is a powerful reminder that leadership starts at home and flows into every sphere of influence.
