Our Leadership

Timothy Gibson, Head of School

Originally from Southern California, Timothy Gibson joined St. George’s Independent School in 2009 as the Director of College Guidance and Student Life, before transitioning to a new role as the Assistant Head of School for Educational Access in 2018. After an exhaustive search, the Board of Trustees tapped Mr. Gibson to be the new Head of School in October 2020.

Prior to St. George’s, Mr. Gibson worked in higher education at Lawrence University in Appleton, WI as the Assistant Director of Campus Activities, Assistant Dean of Campus Organizations, and Assistant Dean of Students for Multicultural Affairs. From 2001-2009, Mr. Gibson was at Rhodes College, where he served as the Senior Associate of Admissions and Coordinator of Multicultural Recruitment, where he led the effort to reach out to high schools and engage communities where Rhodes had never ventured before. Success was achieved—a record 25% students of color in his last incoming class—by being open about past challenges, clearly articulating a vision for the future, and building lasting relationships within the communities with whom he worked.

As an advocate for students beyond St. George’s, Timothy has served on the Board of Directors for the Colleges That Change Lives and was the coordinator of the Greater Memphis National College Fair for many years.

Mr. Gibson received a Bachelor of University Studies at Eastern New Mexico University and earned a Master of Education from Christian Brothers University.
