Ryle High School has tagged the next leader of the athletics program.
The school announced Josh Furtado as its next athletic director in an April 22 post on X. Furtado, a 2022 Ryle graduate, is currently a pitcher for the Morehead State University baseball team.
In the post, Ryle emphasized Furtado's ties to the school and athletics while looking ahead to his potential contributions.
"Josh is a proud Ryle graduate, collegiate athlete, and is dedicated to strengthening our culture and fostering deeper community engagement," the school said in the post.

Furtado began his collegiate athletics career at Transylvania University before transferring to Morehead State as a sophomore. In 11.1 innings pitched in the 2026 season, Furtado has recorded 13 strikeouts.
