This research was conducted to understand how 30 American school leaders coped with the COVID-19 pandemic. A case study approach was used in the study. The researchers used convenience and snowball sampling to conduct Zoom interviews in May 2020. The research findings revealed that leaders faced numerous difficulties related to having to lead during two crises (a global pandemic and social-racial issues). The results also showed that leaders changed their style and used many strategies to lead during crises. They emphasized communication, became stress managers and cheerleaders, focused on developing a sense of belonging among teachers and students alike, and planned for the school year. This study is important because it expands leaders' understanding of how to lead schools in times of crisis. When leaders lead effectively in times of crisis, then learning, teaching, and well-being are less likely to negatively impacted. The implications of this study also challenge education stakeholders to reimagine how to lead in an increasingly technological world. The study is relevant for K-12 leaders, but the findings could also be useful for leaders in a variety of contexts.
