Bruce Edwards Administrator
Bruce has been a part of the Tommytown community for over 40 years, working with various organizations and programs to help serve and improve the community. One of his areas of focus has been to improve the trajectory, outcomes, and Quality of Life for our children. When the opportunity came to help open a school in the area with the focus of giving the children in the surrounding areas the best possible start, for themselves and their families, he did everything possible to make it happen... even during the height of the pandemic. He has also taken the initiative to get certified as a teacher as well, and serves as one of our substitutes. He also provides guidance and oversight for our sister school, East Tampa Academy.
