Anniston City Schools is proud to welcome Dr. Jimmy Lee Thomas as the new principal of Anniston Middle School.
With 27 years of experience in education, including 21 years in school leadership, Dr. Thomas brings a wealth of knowledge, vision, and dedication to the Bulldog family. Throughout his career, he has built a reputation as a transformational leader committed to academic excellence, student achievement, and creating positive school cultures.
Most recently, Dr. Thomas led his previous school through an impressive turnaround, moving it off the state's priority list in just one year while improving its state report card grade from a D to a B. His proven ability to inspire students, support teachers, and drive meaningful results makes him an outstanding addition to Anniston Middle School.
As he begins this new chapter, Dr. Thomas looks forward to partnering with students, families, faculty, and the community to build on the school's successes and continue creating opportunities for every student to thrive.
Please join us in extending a warm Anniston welcome to Dr. Jimmy Lee Thomas as he leads Anniston Middle School into an exciting new year. We are thrilled to have him as part of the Bulldog family and can't wait to see the positive impact he will make.
