My name is Ryan Wynn, and I am honored to serve as the Principal of Hastings Middle School. I firmly believe that every student deserves a quality education. As educators, it is our responsibility to build respectful and positive relationships, create welcoming environments, and ensure that each student is valued for their unique experiences.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Minnesota and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Hamline University. Additionally, I hold a K-12 Principal Licensure from Hamline University. My professional journey has taken me through various roles. Most recently, I served as Assistant Principal at Faribault High School. Prior to that, I was a Student Management Specialist at Osseo Senior High School and a science teacher at Anoka High School. I have a passion for collaboration, innovation, and fostering a culture where every student feels valued and empowered.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am an avid snowboarder, passionate cyclist, and a dedicated Gopher football fan.

Middle school is a critical phase in a child’s educational journey. It is a time of significant growth and development, both academically and personally. At Hastings Middle School, we understand the importance of providing a supportive and nurturing environment where students can explore their interests, develop new skills, and build strong relationships.

I look forward to partnering with our students, families, and community to make Hastings Middle School a place where every student can thrive. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime or stop by for a visit at Hastings Middle School!

My name is Scott Addyman and I am both honored and proud to have served the Hastings community since 2016. I started my career as a classroom teacher at Pinecrest Elementary and now I support teachers, students, and families in my current role as Assistant Principal at HMS.

My journey in education began at Pinecrest Elementary as a classroom teacher, where I honed my skills and developed a passion for nurturing young minds. My academic credentials include a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin River Falls, and two Master’s degrees from Concordia St. Paul—one in Differentiated Education and  Education Specialist Degree/K-12 Principal Licensure. These qualifications highlight my expertise in tailoring educational experiences to meet the diverse needs of students and leading educational initiatives with a focus on growth and improvement.

In my role as Assistant Principal, I will focus on supporting our 5th and 6th grade students and their families. My goal is to create a positive and inclusive environment where every child can thrive. My approach emphasizes collaboration with teachers to ensure that each student receives the attention and resources they need to succeed.

I believe that education extends beyond the classroom and I am committed to fostering strong connections between home and school. I aim to work closely with parents to set and achieve goals that benefit their children’s academic and personal growth. My dream is to see every student at HMS reach their full potential, and I am excited to partner with families to make that dream a reality.
