Transcend Education’s Ryan Hall grew up in Longmont and is a product of St. Vrain Valley Schools and the University of Colorado at Boulder, but early in his teaching career he decided to dive into one of the toughest educational environments in the country as a Teach For America corps member in New York City in 2007.
Ryan Hall Hall taught middle school math in the New York City Department of Education and in public charter schools — where he was a school leader as well – before leaving New York and joining the startup nonprofit Transcend as one of its earliest team members. Transcend’s mission is to support “communities to create and spread extraordinary, equitable learning environments.”
