TEACHER FEATURE TUESDAY: This week’s featured teacher is Mr. Ryan Harms. Mr. Harms has been in education for eleven years and has spent all of those years teaching at Harrisburg R-VIII. Over the course of his educational career, Mr. Harms has been a substitute teacher, a paraprofessional, a 3rd grade classroom teacher, and a 5th grade classroom teacher. He has been teaching 6th grade math, ELA, and academic support for the past four years on our fantastic middle school team.
Middle School Principal Jeff Wardrip shared “Mr. Harms is a valuable member of the middle school team. Whether it's in the classroom, during his lunch break, or after school Esports club, he makes it a point to get to know all of his students and help them in any way he can. Thank you Mr. Harms, for all you do for our students, staff, and community.”
In addition to his teaching duties, Mr. Harms also coaches our middle school eSports team, serves on our district Salary and Career Ladder Committees, and is a member of our Academic Advisory Cabinet.
Upon retiring from the US Army where he was both an Air Defense Artillery and Satellite Communications sergeant, Mr. Harms received his Master’s Degree in Teaching as a result of his VA benefits.
A fun fact: Mr. Harms loves the martial arts and holds a black belt in combat jujitsu and a Bronze Level Coach’s Certification with USA Wrestling.
When asked to describe what it’s like to work alongside him, partner teacher Marsha Gipson had this to say: “Mr. Harms is a wonderful teaching partner and a friend. He is an exceptional teacher who takes the time to understand his students and leaves an impact that reaches far beyond the classroom. It has truly been a blessing to work alongside him as a co-teacher for the past four years. He is a tremendous asset to our Middle School team. Mr. Harm is one of the best!”
Well said, Mrs. G. and we couldn’t agree more! Thank you, Mr. Harms! #BulldawgPride

They select two winners in each community (one from 1st-3rd grades and one from 4th-6th grades). The 2025 winners from Harrisburg were 3rd grader Brooke Spellman and 5th grader Philip Smith.
