Hello Gullett Geckos, Future Geckos, and Gecko Fans!

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little bit about our incredible school. I am so fortunate to be the principal of Thomas A. Gullett. Gullett has many things to celebrate, including our commitment to social emotional learning, high standards of excellence in instruction as well as being a one of a kind community that offers rich opportunities for outdoor learning, creative expression, and philanthropy. 

I have been a proud educator for over two decades, with over twenty years of service in Austin ISD. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Applied Learning and Development from The University of Texas at Austin and later my master’s degree in Educational Administration from Concordia University. Over the years, I have taught primary and intermediate grades, served as a district instructional math coach, an assistant principal at Baldwin Elementary and am now the proud principal of Thomas A. Gullett! On a personal note, I have two teenage boys attending Stephen F. Austin High School, and it seems like yesterday they were making their way through elementary school. I view education as a lifelong process, and I believe that students are at the center of all school-related decisions.

Building community in inclusive environments and supporting our students academically from our staff and caregivers are at the core of Gullett. The strength of this community and its active participation in supporting our children has served Gullett well and will continue to carry us forward. At Gullett, we work together to live out our shared mission to provide an educational foundation that prepares each student to be a productive, socially responsible citizen and a lifelong learner.

We work as a team that is student centered to move our students forward academically while supporting their social-emotional growth. I look forward to connecting with each of you very soon!

All the best, 

Tammy Thompson
