Mr. Ryan Smith
Hello! I’m Ryan Smith, and I’m thrilled to serve as an Assistant Principal at East Gaston High School. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from South Carolina State University in 1994, followed by a teaching license in Special Education for students with Behavioral and Emotional Disabilities from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. In 2003, I completed a Master of Arts in School Administration at Gardner-Webb University. Since fall 2006, I’ve had the honor of working as a school administrator - either as an assistant principal or principal - within Gaston County Schools. I’m excited to embark on this new chapter and look forward to working with the students, staff, and community here at East Gaston High School.
