Mr. Ryan Noss became superintendent of the Corvallis School District on July 1, 2016.

Prior to his appointment as superintendent, he served as the district’s Director of Teaching and Learning during the 2015-16 school year.
Mr. Noss began his career in education in 1999 as a Special Education teacher in the Tigard-Tualatin school district where he taught for two years. He then taught three more years for the Lebanon Community Schools before working as Special Programs Consultant.
