TEACHER FEATURE TUESDAY: This week’s featured teacher is Mr. Ryan Lyons. Mr. Lyons has dedicated 24 years to the profession of education and has spent the past three of those years teaching mathematics and ACT Preparatory courses at Harrisburg High School. Prior to coming to Harrisburg, Mr. Lyons taught at Fayette, New Franklin, and Boonville. He earned his graduate degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis from the University of MIssouri.
Fellow high school math teacher, Kendra Murphy shared: “Coach Lyons has been great to work with. He is a great listener and is very knowledgeable to bounce ideas off of. Every teacher teaches the same concepts a little differently so I have enjoyed picking up tricks of the trade from him. He is a great co-worker and always willing to help you out in whatever way he can.”
In addition to being an exceptional teacher, Mr. Lyons has dedicated his time and talents to coaching, as well. He has assisted Middle School and High School Cross Country and coaches Middle School Boys Basketball.

HIgh School Principal Kyle Fisher shares that "I have had the pleasure to work with Mr. Lyons here at Harrisburg for the past three years. He is one of the most talented math educators that I have ever been around. He has a unique ability to connect with all kids and reach different types of learners. He has been a huge asset to the Harrisburg School District for the past three years, and he will definitely be missed. "

Mr. Lyons plans to retire from education at the end of the 25-26 school year. We will miss his commitment to his students, his professionalism, and his dedication to Harrisburg R-VIII School District. Thank you Mr. Lyons for making a difference every day in the lives of your students and colleagues. #BulldawgPride
