A message from the principal...
This is my third year with TISD, and I am grateful for the opportunity to lead the TMS campus as principal. The bonds I have formed with the students here will have a lasting impact on me. My goal as an educator is to inspire students to be the best they can be – to be Allergic to Average. I have seen the growth and improvement firsthand and can’t wait to continue to improve the lives of our students through education.
Over the past year, there have been noticeable improvements in attendance, grades, and behavior throughout the TMS campus. I want to keep the momentum going and improve upon the strides we have made so far this year. Continually improving attendance, grades, and reducing behavioral issues is the best way to improve the lives of our students at the TMS campus. I truly believe that education is the foundation upon which success is built and I am thankful for the chance to instill in the students the importance of education.
I am forever grateful for the trust that you all put in me to support and educate TMS students. Again, thank you for your support of the students of Timpson Middle School and allowing me to touch their lives.
