Hello, I'm Ryan Hammond, and I'm excited to announce my candidacy for the Berkeley County School Board. Graduating Magna Cum Laude from WVU has equipped me with a fresh perspective and an unwavering commitment to shaping the future of education in our community. Berkeley County is not just where I reside; it's where I've grown up, attended local schools, and directly experienced the profound impact of our education system on our students' lives. Education has always been my passion; driving my dedication to ensuring every child receives a high-quality education that prepares them for success in our ever-changing world. My goal is clear: champion opportunities within our schools, providing an environment where every student can flourish. I aim to pave pathways that empower our students not just with knowledge but with the essential skills needed to lead and thrive in the future. I'm running for the School Board to represent the voices of our entire community. It's vital that every student, parent, teacher, and staff member has a meaningful say in the decisions that shape our educational landscape. Together, let's build a school system that not only meets but exceeds expectations, creating a future where education is an undeniable right for every child.
