Noblesville Schools

Education is the heart of our mission and the Department of Learning leads this effort for Noblesville Schools. 

Assistant superintendent of learning Ryan Rich, Ed.S., is responsible across the district for: 

• Curriculum
• Instruction
• Special Education
• Student Services 
• Technology

Additionally, the Department of Learning oversees principal and educator professional growth and evaluation, high-ability programming, media services, English language learner support, counseling, assessments, and several federal grants that enhance student academics. 

This collaborative organizational structure puts learning at the center of all district departments that serve students.
