Rockingham County Schools Announces Jason Hyler as Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction
Jason Hyler has been named the new Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction for Rockingham County Schools, effective July 1, 2026. He will serve under a four-year contract.
A graduate of Rockingham County Schools, Hyler brings 25 years of experience as a teacher, coach, school leader, and district administrator. A native of Eden, North Carolina, he began his career as an exceptional children’s teacher and coach at Morehead High School. He later transitioned into school leadership, serving as an assistant principal at both the elementary and middle school levels before becoming principal at Stoneville Elementary School.
In 2015, Hyler moved to the district level as Director of Testing and Accountability, where he led assessment systems and supported schools in using data to improve instruction. In 2022, he expanded his leadership responsibilities by also serving as Director of Secondary Schools, working closely with middle and high school principals to strengthen leadership and instructional practices across the district.
“I’m honored to continue serving Rockingham County Schools in this role,” said Hyler. “This work is about supporting our schools, staying focused on instruction, and making sure every student has the opportunity to succeed. We have a strong foundation in place, and I’m looking forward to continuing to build on that with our schools and leadership teams.”
