ROYERSFORD — Robert Rizzo, the superintendent of the Spring-Ford Area School District, has announced his retirement, effective Aug. 1.
Rizzo has made this decision with the full support of his family, citing a desire to focus on personal priorities, according to a release issued by the school district.
“It has been an honor to serve the Spring-Ford community,” Rizzo said in the release. “Since joining in 2019, I have been continually impressed by the strength and spirit of this district. Spring-Ford is a truly special place, built on genuine connections and kindness.”
Rizzo’s career in education has spanned 32 years, with the last six years dedicated to Spring-Ford.
He began his career as a band director in the East Allegheny School District in 1993. Since that time, he has served as a band director for Penn Hills School District and Indiana Area School District, as well as an assistant principal at Indiana Area Senior High School, principal at Ben Franklin Elementary School, coordinator of instructional technology for Indiana Area School District, and assistant superintendent of the Indiana Area School District.
Rizzo joined the Spring-Ford Area School District as assistant superintendent in 2019 and became Superintendent in 2021.
“My time here has been more fulfilling than I could have imagined,” said Rizzo. “I am grateful to have been a part of such a remarkable community.”
The Spring-Ford Area School District School Board will initiate the process of selecting a new superintendent in the coming weeks. Opportunities for community input will be provided to ensure a smooth transition and the continued progress of the district, according to the press release.
Rizzo intends to remain engaged in the education sector in the future. While his role as superintendent will conclude, he will remain a member of the Spring-Ford community and a proud parent within the district, the release stated.
“I look forward to continuing to support Spring-Ford and watching it thrive,” stated Rizzo.
