Greetings Mankato West Community,
My name is Ryan Meyer, and it is an honor and privilege to serve our community as an Assistant Principal of Mankato West High School. My leadership journey is unique in the fact that I am a proud 2008 graduate of West (Go Scarlets!). It was during my time here as a student that the pathway to educational leadership began to open for me. This is my first year back in Mankato after my most recent position as a Dean of Students in Burnsville.
It has always been my passion and purpose to serve others, and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to live out my passion and purpose in the community that helped raise me. I truly believe in the power of relationship building and seeking to understand the stories of others. I believe in partnering with staff to create equitable systems that help serve all students and guide our students towards their hopes and dreams. Every day I strive to ensure that each student and staff member feels welcomed, valued, seen, and heard the moment they step into our incredible building.
When I am not at work I am often found spending my time with family and friends. I enjoy running, biking, swimming and being out in nature. I might also be found in a basketball gym as I serve as a Minnesota State High School League basketball official. Being able to serve our student athletes and coaches is something that I take a lot of pride in. One thing that students and staff will find out quickly is I have a passion for collecting shoes and I look forward to showing off all the new shoes I have collected this past summer in red and white!
Family and community engagement is what keeps me energized and I hope to have the opportunity to connect with you at an event soon. Until then, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time.
In Community,
Ryan Meyer
Assistant Principal
