Thomas Brooks Announces Resignation

            Thomas Brooks gave the following statement at a press conference this afternoon to announce his resignation from John Tyler High School.

 

“It is with mixed emotions that I come to you today and announce my resignation from John Tyler High School and Tyler ISD.  It is a very difficult decision to leave this wonderful community, but I have given this decision great thought and believe it is the best decision for me and my family.  Accepting the Athletic Director/Head Football Coach position in Jasper allows me the opportunity to live near my mother, as well as be near my wife’s family.

 

I am very proud of the progress the football team has made at John Tyler.  When I first started here as a football coach, we may have had 40 students participating, and we now have more than 200 students wanting to be part of the team.  I know the new leadership will continue this team in a positive direction.  I want to thank the students, parents, staff, and community for their support of me.  I wish John Tyler High School and TISD much success!”
