My educational journey started as a teacher and coach in Bryan-College Station 15 years ago. I\u2019ve served in multiple roles as an administrator in RISD for the last 7 years.\u00a0 After the 2017-2018 year at West, I served as an Assistant Principal at Richardson High School for three years.\u00a0 During that time I supported the freshmen class, the math department, CTE, the RHS Magnet programs, and many other areas.\u00a0 Most recently, I was the principal at Moss Haven Elementary in the Lake Highlands Learning Community for three years.<\/span><\/p>

My family and I have lived and raised our kids in Richardson for the past 9 years.\u00a0 All three of my children currently attend MST in RISD. I went to college at Texas A&M University, where I earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in history and my master\u2019s degree in Instruction and Curriculum Development.<\/span><\/p>

My passion lies in fostering academic growth and building relationships within our school community. I look forward to meeting with the RWJH staff, community, and students to establish strong relationships and work together toward a bright future.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Hello Bronco Family! This is my eighth year as assistant principal at Richardson West Junior High Arts and Technology Magnet. Overall, this is my 16th year in Richardson ISD. I moved to Texas 16 years ago from New Jersey and landed in Richardson ISD immediately. It is like my second home! I love working at RWJH and serving the teachers, students, and community of West. West is Best! I have two children: a little girl Charlee (9) and my baby boy Cason (5). When I am not here, I am enjoying time with my family!<\/p>\n

Greetings Broncos! I am Tommy Lamberth and I am the Assistant Principal for 8th grade this year at West. It is going to be a great year!<\/p>

This is my 17th year in education, and my 6th year as an administrator. I have been in RISD my whole career and was a student in RISD growing up. RISD is truly the place to be!<\/p>

West is a special place and there\u2019s a reason why we say West is Best! I have three children, with my son being an incoming 7th grader, Jacob, at West this year. My daughters Greta and Polly are RISD students as well.<\/p>

I received my Bachelors from Baylor University and my Masters from Lamar University.<\/p>

Looking forward to a great year! Go Broncos!<\/p>

Tommy Lamberth<\/p>
