Description
Ryan Jones is a Greenwich native who graduated from Greenwich High School in 2002. He feels fortunate beyond words to be able to teach high school history, government, and politics in his old alma mater.
After attending Boston College and a brief stint in the military, Ryan dabbled in the fitness industry and food service before meeting a girl (now his wife, Megan) who suggested he pursue a career in education. After receiving his MA from Fairfield University, he landed back in Greenwich and has never looked back. He loves his current courseload which consists of AP US History, AP US Government, AP Comparative Government, and an elective specifically on the Civil War and Reconstruction. In 2022, he was a recipient of Greenwich’s Distinguished Teacher Award, one of the proudest accomplishments of his life.
Ryan is lucky in that his hobbies coincide with his profession. He has taken (dragged?) his two sons Jack and Andrew to numerous Civil War battlefields and dozens of museums. He loves being outside or on the water with his family whenever possible. In the summer, the Jones Family can be found in one of their favorite places, Cape Cod or Vermont.
