Tri-County Schools Update with Superintendent Ryan Biller

Discover Montcalm sits down with Ryan Biller, the new superintendent of Tri-County Area Schools, for a look into the district’s past, present, and exciting future.

A Morley-Stanwood graduate and longtime educator, Ryan brings over 25 years of experience in teaching and school leadership—from the classrooms of Cadillac to principal roles in Harrison and McBain. As of January 2024, he’s now leading the charge at Tri-County, a district that stretches across Montcalm, Kent, and Newaygo counties.

We explore the district’s unique history—formed in the early 1960s through the merger of Howard City and Sand Lake High Schools—and how a successful 2019 bond has led to major campus improvements, including a new elementary school, modern science classrooms, and a multipurpose auditorium.

Ryan Biller shares updates

• The sale and repurposing of district properties (like Sand Lake Elementary and Amy School Road)

• The transformation of McNaughton Elementary into a new Early Learning Center

• Upcoming athletic facility upgrades to improve accessibility and game-day experiences

• The formation of a new leadership team bringing fresh vision to the district

Whether you’re a parent, student, educator, or community member, this episode is packed with valuable insights into how Tri-County is growing, evolving, and investing in the future of its students.
