Dear Mallard Community,
As many of you know, I have had the privilege of serving as your Assistant Principal. Today, I am honored, humbled, and excited to step into a new role as your Interim Principal.
This is my 21st year with Currituck County Schools. Having been a part of the Mallard family for the past 8 years, I know firsthand what an incredible, dedicated community we have here. Because I am deeply familiar with our students, our staff, and our daily routines, my absolute priority is to ensure continuity, stability, and a seamless transition for everyone.
Our focus remains exactly where it belongs: on the academic success, safety, and well-being of our students. Because I already know so many of your children, I am eager to keep supporting them and watching them thrive from this new vantage point.
Thank you for your continued partnership, unwavering support, and genuine trust. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time—my door remains open, just as it always has been.
Warmly,
Mrs. Kristy Ryan
