Ryan shared, “The opportunity to be a part of a new middle school is very exciting to me. I am looking forward to continuing to teach what I really enjoy, remain working in the community that I live in, collaborate with some familiar faces from EMS, and learn from new colleagues. I hope to help build a strong, inclusive learning environment at TMS that helps all students be successful during their middle school years.”
