“While I began serving the Conrad Weiser Area School District in 2017, I have been a resident of the District since 2007.  I am and have always been, dedicated to my community. Both of my children have been Conrad Weiser Scouts since Kindergarten. As a community member, I have been involved in many aspects of youth sports and civic areas such as Rotary International, and I am active in my church. The Conrad Weiser community is my home. 

Now, I have the opportunity to serve the Conrad Weiser Area School District as Superintendent of Schools, I can’t help but think back to the days of my youth working on my grandfather’s dairy farm with my cousins. The lessons we learned there -- a strong work ethic, perseverance, and the belief that service is a life-long endeavor -- are the foundations for the person I am today. Throughout my life I have consistently demonstrated care for the people with whom I work and, as a result, have developed a climate of mutual respect and trust around me. I will continue cultivating meaningful professional relationships with all stakeholders and contribute my knowledge, skills, and positive attitude to all my responsibilities.

I promise to work hard every day to ensure the best educational experience in the safest environment while serving the Conrad Weiser Area School District as Superintendent of Schools.”

Sincerely-

Ryan R. Giffing, Ed.D.

Superintendent
