About > A Message from Tom
As a professional educator, I’ve made it my life’s mission to enrich, empower and enhance the lives of young people. From my beginnings as a high school teacher to my most recent work as a college dean, I am passionate about the state of education in South Carolina and I will do everything in my power to change the direction of the last several decades.
I’ve experienced our state’s educational system from the inside out and—more than anyone—I recognize the challenges we face. That’s why I promise to work with other elected officials, educators, parents and students—in a true spirit of cooperation—to create the change we all seek.
I invite you join “Team Tom” so that, together, we can all march forward to rehabilitate South Carolina’s educational system and ensure a quality education for every child.
Sincerely,
Tom Thompson
Candidate for Superintendent of Education
