Meet Shawn Ryan
Straightforward. Honest. Harford.
I’m Shawn Ryan, born and raised right here in Harford County. I’ve spent years standing up for kids and supporting families in our community. I’m not a career politician — I’m a dad, a baseball coach, a community guy, and someone who believes our schools should prioritize students, transparency, and accountability.
Our children deserve schools that listen, act, and put their needs first. That’s exactly what I’ll fight for.
What This Office Should Be
Our values guide everything we do — shaping decisions, setting priorities, and inspiring a vision for schools that truly put students first. These principles reflect who we are, what we believe in, and the future we’re committed to building for our children.
Clear and Easy to
Understand
No jargon. No runaround. Just straightforward communication and clear explanations for parents, teachers, and students.
Respectful and
Human
Everyone in our school community deserves patience, empathy, and real support — not frustration or dismissal.
Focused on Students, Not Bureaucracy
The Board exists to serve students and families, not to complicate things with unnecessary processes.
