Message from the Superintendent

Dear Hale County Schools’ Students, Staff, Parents and Residents,

Welcome to another phenomenal school year.  It is indeed an honor to serve as your Superintendent of Schools.  I regard the Hale County School District as one of the finest school districts in the nation and therefore, will continue my pledge to maintain this established legacy. 

It is truly a great time to be a part of the Hale County District.  The upcoming school year will continue to be one that is immersed in innovation, high expectations, and excellence.   As a product and educator of this system, I have learned that the existing tradition of excellence is due, in large part, to the wonderful people who comprise our communities and the hard working students and staff within our school walls.

I take very seriously the honor you have given me in entrusting your children, who are your most prized possessions, to the care of our fine faculty and staff.  I therefore charge myself and my staff to give their very best each day, all day.

My mission and passion as your Superintendent is to grow and maintain a rigorous teaching and learning environment that provides every student with a sense of belonging while helping them to grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially. I deeply believe in a quality, comprehensive education for all students.  As we continue to aid in moving Hale County forward, I expect that the Hale County School District not only be known for its academic excellence and extracurricular programs, but also for the positive and healthy relationships that are cultivated between staff and students. 

I urge you to take the time to read the Parent-Student Handbook and to take into account its importance in the success of your student in our school district.  The handbook provides valuable information and serves as a resource that will assist both parents and students in understanding many of the policies and procedures put forth by the Hale County School District.

Sincerely,

Michael C. Ryans

Superintendent of Schools

Hale County School District
