Ryan has served as principal at Glenwood Elementary since 2010. Prior to her tenure at Glenwood, Ryan held a position at the district level and several teaching positions in CHCCS and Chatham County Schools.
“We are very pleased to have someone of Dr. Ryan’s experience and passion helping to lead the district’s instructional efforts,” said Interim Superintendent Jim Causby. “She knows the challenges we face, and has a proven track record of great results. She is highly skilled at leading teachers and administrators to creative and viable solutions.”
Ryan is replacing Dr. Steven Weber, who recently accepted a position out of state.
Christopher Liles will move from assistant principal at Glenwood to the interim principal until a permanent replacement is named.
Ryan earned her bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees from UNC. She will begin her new role on September 15.
