About Me
About Me
Ryan Detwiler
Hello and welcome everyone to my teacher connection page!
My name is Ryan Detwiler and this will be my 15th year here at The Villages Charter School. I currently teach the Computer Science Academy, foundations of programming, as well as AP Computer Science Principles. I had also taught math here during my first 13 years. I was born and raised up north in Pennsylvania and have been here in Florida since 2011. My wife Brianna and I are the proud parents of our two amazing children Kendal and Waylin. Feel free to scroll through my pictures!
I love to play just about all sports. In high school I had played basketball and soccer and decided to focus on education when I went off to college until randomly falling into the track and field program. I also still hold the high jump record at the university (that's right!) that I set back in 2008. Here's the link for the doubters! Mansfield University of Pennsylvania is where I obtained my degree in mathematics education. I have also spent a semester studying abroad at Volgograd State University in Volgograd, Russia.
On top of enjoying sports, I also love spending time with my family, going to the beach, and I can never go fishing enough in all waters but mostly salt.
If there's anything else that you would like to know, just ask!
