Ryan Reed, the new Superintendent of Rocky View Schools (RVS), is excited to have his first school year underway in his new role.
Now with a week under his belt, he shared that it is still a familiar feeling.
"It's exciting to see all the people that we have in place, both here at the Education Center and in schools, get to do what they love, and that's work with our students."
He explained that there has been a flurry of activity as everybody comes back from summer as well, but that it is an exciting time of the year.
"My job now is to support those around me and to lead and to ensure that things are in place for them to do what they need to do. So lots of communicating and lots of supporting the team we have around us here."
Reed is excited to get to know the division from a different perspective.
"Getting to know staff in buildings, getting to know the students and go on tours of the schools as well as getting to welcome a new board as we have a municipal election this fall. I'm really excited to help with the transition for a new board and to orient them to Rocky View Schools and get to know our schools through their perspective as well."
He is thankful for the seamless transition to this role, thanks to former Superintendent Greg Luterbach.
"A lot of our summer was spent side by side in the office here, showing me different documents and working through different processes that he did. He has a wealth of knowledge from his nine years as superintendent, so I tried to glean as much as I could over the summer months."
According to RVS, with more than 21 years of experience in education, including over a decade with RVS, Reed brings a deep passion for student success and a strong commitment to leadership excellence. His dedication and exceptional leadership capabilities were recognized early on, earning Reed various leadership roles as assistant principal and principal in multiple schools across Alberta and advancing to director within the Education Centre.
In addition to obtaining a Master of Educational Leadership from the University of Alberta in Edmonton and a Bachelor of Education/Bachelor of Management from the University of Lethbridge in Lethbridge, Reed is presently working toward his Chartered Professional Human Resources (CPHR) Certification from the Captus Institute in Toronto.
