    Hello Larimore Family!  My name is Tonya Ryan and it is my pleasure to serve as your Assistant Principal this school year. I am originally from Arkansas. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from UMSL.    I also attended UMSL to obtain a Master of Arts in Education Administration and I received my doctorate in Educational Leadership from Maryville University.  When I’m not at Larimore you can find me binge-watching something scary on Netflix, riding my bike, or looking to explore something new.  I love to be outside, but come October I am all about St. Louis Blues hockey!!!  

    I have been blessed with the opportunity to teach grades 3 through 5 for the last twenty years. As an instructional leader. I want to “pay forward” the experiences I had as a teacher to the many innovative teachers I serve in our school. Teachers and students will take risks when they know they are supported through timely feedback, high-quality resources, and opportunities for growth. I encourage you to join me in supporting a culture of excellence by actively participating in your child's educational experience. 

    As a lifelong learner, my hope is that my efforts will inspire every student at Larimore to reach for the stars and follow the Lion Way.  Here at Larimore, ALL students will be able to acquire the life-long knowledge, skills, and values needed in order to make great contributions to their community and wherever life takes them.

    We thank you for entrusting us with your children.  If you have any questions or need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am here to serve you!

    Let’s have a great school year!

    Dr. Ryan
