Anthony Pulido
Director of Technology Services · Classified Management · Executive Leadership
Anthony Pulido serves in a districtwide classified management leadership role responsible for the overall direction, stability, security, planning, and performance of technology services across Helendale School District. This is an executive-level position rather than a support role, responsible for making sure the district's technology systems are planned, protected, documented, cost-effective, legally compliant, and aligned with student learning and district operations.
The role draws on advanced technical work, including software development, network and infrastructure engineering, cybersecurity and data privacy, AI and data systems, and cloud architecture, alongside strategic management responsibilities such as long-range technology planning, budgeting and procurement, policy and compliance, technical staff supervision, district website management, and reporting and presentations for the Board of Trustees.

Maintenance Operation Technology Support Technician · Frontline Support
Calvin Myers provides the district's frontline, day-to-day technology support and is the technician that staff, students, and families see most often across all three school sites. His work covers basic, hands-on support: setting up and troubleshooting computers and Chromebooks, assisting with basic network and equipment needs, installing and configuring devices, processing support tickets, helping with inventory procedures, and assisting users with SIS access, student email, and passwords.
As the district's primary on-site technician, Calvin keeps essential classroom and site technology working so that teaching and learning are not interrupted. His role is service-based, hands-on, and operational, providing the direct, reliable assistance that schools depend on every day.
Supplemental Technology Support
Beyond the core two-person team, the Technology Department receives seasonal help from a technology intern who assists during the summer and throughout the school year whenever additional support is needed.

Josiah Gansky
Technology Intern · Supplemental & Seasonal Support
Josiah Gansky is a Helendale School District alumnus who provides supplemental technology support during the summer and throughout the school year whenever the department needs additional assistance. Working alongside Calvin Myers, he helps with hands-on, site-level technology needs so that classroom and campus systems stay running during busier periods and larger projects. While he is not a permanent member of the two-person team, his seasonal help gives the department valuable added capacity when it is needed most.
Josiah has supported the HSD Technology Department for the past eight years during breaks throughout high school and university. He is a recent graduate of Point Loma Nazarene University, where he earned a degree in Information Systems with a minor in History. For four years he also worked within the university's IT Department across a range of areas, from computer support to cloud development, and he brings that experience back to Helendale to help serve students and staff.
Technology Role Comparison
Helendale School District's technology work includes both frontline daily support and districtwide executive technology leadership. These two functions are connected, but they are not the same.
