Meet the CRMS Staff: Red Hawk of the week
Each week, we’ll shine the spotlight on a member of our amazing staff, giving our families a chance to learn more about the people who make our school special.
Meet Mr. Ryan McDonald

8th Grade Science Teacher
This week we’re excited to feature our 8th Grade Science Teacher, who is celebrating an incredible 20 years at Coal Ridge! One of Mr. McDonald’s favorite parts of working at CRMS is the supportive staff and the amazing students he gets to work with every day. Outside of the classroom, you can often find him enjoying the outdoors — especially fly fishing. In fact, he recently accomplished the impressive Wyoming Cutt-Slam, catching all four native cutthroat trout species found in the state!
