Tom Harrell

for Escambia County School Board, District 5

Hello, my name is Tom Harrell,

and I am running for School Board District 5. Many of you will remember me from my days as a teacher at Ransom Middle School, principal at Escambia Westgate School, and principal at R. C. Lipscomb Elementary. I have had the opportunity to teach and administer schools that put me in a position to impact the lives of thousands of students. I love being a teacher and school administrator. During the coming weeks, I hope to get to know as many District 5 voters as possible. Also, I hope you will get to know me and where I stand on the issues. Those who already know me will tell you that I have one guiding principle – CHILDREN FIRST IN ALL DECISIONS.
