New Hire Alert:

Introducing Mrs. Jennifer Ryle, Principal of Tri-Community Elementary School:

I am excited to join the Tri-Community Elementary School family as your new principal! As I begin my 19th year in education, I bring experience as both a teacher and administrator from schools across North Carolina, Georgia, Alaska, Colorado, Washington, and Pennsylvania. As a military spouse for the past 21 years, I've had the opportunity to serve diverse school communities and have developed a passion for helping every student succeed.

I earned my bachelor's degree in elementary education from Millersville University and my master’s degree in special education from Columbus State University, along with principal and special education director licensure from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons, baking, gardening, and cheering on my favorite hockey teams. I look forward to partnering with our students, families, staff, and community to create a welcoming, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every child can thrive.

Our fourth graders presented their very first Wax Museum on Friday! Students dressed up as the individuals they researched and brought them to life with incredible speeches. As you walked by and “pressed their button,” they confidently shared who they were, showcasing all they had learned. It was an impressive display of creativity, hard work, and presentation skills—great job, fourth grade!
