Ryan Lindley, a chorus teacher at Perry Tipler Middle School, was selected for his high enthusiasm, professionalism, musicianship and impact on the choral program.
He’s been with the Oshkosh Area School District for about five years, and district officials say he’s been instrumental in growing the 4th-8th-grade choral program.
“I am incredibly grateful to be in a position where I can help my students grow as both musicians and humans,” Lindley said via the release. “My goal is to be an educator who leads by example, engaging with our community and constantly learning alongside my students every day.”
