Ryan Burns
It is an honor to be named the first principal of Gus Almquist Middle School. I have loved serving the Hutto community for the last eight years through both Farley Middle School and Hutto High School. I look forward to continuing that service as we all work to inspire excellence in our students. I am excited to get started working with the GAMS community on building a culture of excellence on that campus that welcomes and supports our students, families, staff and community.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts at Texas Tech University and then completed my Master of Education in Educational Administration from Lamar University. Prior to my career in administration, I taught Resource English classes and coached football and baseball at L.C. Anderson High School in Austin. I then taught Professional Communications courses and was the head baseball coach at John B. Connally High School in Pflugerville.
I believe in providing opportunities for all students, staff, and families to be connected to Gus Almquist Middle School. Our combined efforts will continue to make Gus Almquist a premier school.
Please feel free to reach out if you are ever in need of assistance. I am blessed to serve this community and welcome all support for our students.
Respectfully,
Ryan Burns
Principal
