On September 17, 2024, Ritenour School District will join organizations across the country in celebrating National IT Professionals Appreciation Day. This occasion provides an opportunity to recognize the crucial role our Information Technology team plays in maintaining the district's digital infrastructure and supporting our educational mission.

Led by Director of Technology Dr. Rich Wilson, Ritenour's IT department includes a dedicated team of professionals: Keyri Alcantar, Willie Bledsoe, Chuck Hill, Austin Knott, Richard Johnson, Haleigh McClain, Dakota Merriman, Josh Yarbrough, and several others who contribute behind the scenes.

The responsibilities of our IT team are vast and vital to the district's daily operations.
