MCALESTER, Okla. -
At 35 years old, Oklahoma’s newly appointed Secretary of Education is not only the youngest ever to hold that position in Oklahoma, but Ryan Walters is also the only Secretary of Education in Oklahoma to continue to teach.
“I absolutely love teaching, being around young people: the hope, the excitement, the energy that comes from it, Walters said.
Walters told News On 6 s Tess Maune his goal as a top advisor to the governor is to make a difference for students across the state, the same ambition he’s had for years as a high school teacher.
