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.

Personal
My wonderful wife (Joyce) and I have lived in District 5 since 1976. We both are retired from the Escambia School District. My wife was a school secretary and data clerk. We have three children and seven grandchildren. We love spending time with our family. All our children attended school in District 5 (L. D. McArthur, R. C. Lipscomb, Ransom Middle and Tate High). Our grandchildren attend Tate High School, Molino ParkElemmentary, and R. C. Lipscomb Elementary. Our son, Steve Harrell is the Director of Workforce Education for the School District and our daughter, Lisa Nelson is a teacher at Molino Park Elementary School.
We are an educational family!
Experience
When I was a District Administrator on Special Assignment, I developed the plan and provided the leadership that moved O. J. Semmes Elementary School from a double "F" to a "C" in seven months. I had to do a report for the State Board of Education each month and met with the Deputy Commissioner for the State of Florida each month to go over the progress we were making at Semmes.
My experience includes general ed, workforce education, ESE, and ranges from elementary through community college.
