The Fulton Schools and Ashley Community Schools Board of Education are pleased to announce that we have entered into negotiations with Mr. Ryan Portenga to serve as the superintendent for both districts and communities. This is an exciting first step as we embark on a new chapter together!
Mr. Portenga brings a wealth of experience from his impressive service as the Middle/High School Principal at Pewamo Westphalia. During his tenure, he has consistently demonstrated his commitment to championing all students across Academics, Arts, and Athletics. The interview process allowed us to gain an even greater appreciation for his accomplishments, which are grounded in a student and family-centered philosophy and close collaboration with his administrative teams.
We are confident that Mr. Portenga's strong communication abilities, steadfast work ethic, and core values will align with the goals and aspirations of both districts and communities. His leadership will help foster positive growth and a stronger sense of community throughout our schools.
We look forward to the positive impact Mr. Portenga will bring and are excited for what the future holds!
Here's to embarking on a remarkable adventure together-one that will benefit our communities for years to come!!!

Happy Bus Driver Appreciation Day! Today we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible, dedicated team of drivers at Fulton who transport our most precious cargo safely to and from school every single day.
From waking up before the sun rises to greeting our students with a warm smile, our drivers do so much more than just drive. They are a safe harbor, a trusted face, and an essential part of the Fulton community. Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your commitment to keeping our kids safe, rain or shine! 🌧️☀️ Thank you for everything you do!
