WELCOME TO ROWEN!

William Rowen Elementary, Principal Angela Ryans:

Ms. Angela Ryans has been an equity-centered educator for well over 20 years. She has been privileged to serve in a diversity of educational settings in various capacities: Teacher, Dean, School Based Teacher Leader (SBTL), Assistant Principal, and Principal Resident. Those experiences have helped to shape and broaden Ms. Ryans lens in her endeavor to have a profound impact on the communities she serves. In return, Ms. Ryans has embraced the opportunity to build the capacity of teachers and school teams in the collective mission to provide the equity-centered instruction needed to increase student outcomes. Ms. Ryans earned a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Cheyney University and a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from Cabrini University. Ms. Ryans is also a life-long resident of Philadelphia and a product of Philadelphia Schools. In that light, she deems it a privilege and an honor to further serve the students of this fine city and especially as the new principal of William Rowen Elementary School.
