Assistant Principal

Mr. Tyler Thomas

This year marks my 14th year in education and my first year at Alto Park Elementary. I believe the best schools are built on strong relationships, teamwork, and a shared commitment to doing what’s best for kids. My goal is to support our students, staff, and families however I can while helping make Alto Park a place where people love to learn, work, and grow. I am incredibly excited to join The Park and can’t wait for a fantastic school year!

Outside of school, my wife, Ashleigh, and I are enjoying life with our son, Cooper, who was born in May. We love traveling, making memories with family and friends, and spending time with our three dogs.
