Vice President of Schools, Tampa Bay

IDEA Public Schools:

At IDEA Public Schools, we believe in college for all and we are committed to ensuring that every student graduates from a four-year college.

IDEA was founded in 2000 as a single school with 150 students in the Rio Grande Valley. When student interest exceeded the building capacity, IDEA co-founders, Tom Torkelson and JoAnn Gama, responded to the growing demand from families and launched what is now IDEA Public Schools. Under their leadership, we serve tens of thousands of students across Texas and Louisiana. By 2022, IDEA will be on track to serve 100,000 students in communities across the country.

When you choose to work at IDEA, you aren't just an employee. You are a part of a team and family. You will work alongside colleagues who set and reach ambitious goals every day, are excited to continue to grow with IDEA, and work relentlessly to make college for all a reality.
