Wes Kriesel

With more than 25 years in public education, Wes Kriesel brings both heart and strategy to the work of transforming learning. As Director of Innovation and Instructional Support at Fullerton School District, he leads with a systems-level lens—bridging technology, instruction, and communication to build stronger outcomes for students, families, and staff.

Wes oversees the integration of tech across all schools and departments, working closely with teams spanning infrastructure, LMS, and data analytics. He’s also the driving force behind districtwide storytelling efforts—using podcasts, livestreams, social media, and more to amplify what’s working and why it matters.

From leading Fullerton’s 1:1 device initiative to launching MyFSD Academy, Wes is committed to making learning accessible, connected, and future-ready. His mission is clear: create tools, systems, and stories that lift up the work—and the people—behind great education.
