ATHLETIC DIRECTOR GREETING
Hello, Bob Jones family.
My name is Tom Runnion, and I am the Athletic Director for Bob Jones
High School. I am from Huntsville, AL
and graduated from Grissom High School in 1994.
While at Grissom, I played basketball, was in the marching band, and was
very active in my church youth group. I then
attended Birmingham-Southern College where I played basketball and earned my Bachelors
of Science degree in Biology.
After
graduating from Birmingham-Southern, I was a biology teacher and assistant
basketball coach at Albertville High School.
I then accepted a position at Huntsville High School as the head boys’
basketball coach and biology teacher.
After nine years at Huntsville High, I taught and coached at Sparkman
High School for three years. In 2012, I
moved to Bob Jones High School as an assistant boys’ basketball coach and
marine biology teacher. I am now finishing my sixth year serving as assistant principal and athletic director at BJHS.
My wife,
Paige, recently retired from Madison City Schools. We have one daughter,
Parker, who attends Auburn University.
Our family enjoys traveling, going to amusement parks, scuba diving, and
watching college sports. I am looking
forward to supporting our student-athletes and coaches this year as we grow
together on and off the fields, courts, pools, courses, alleys, mats, and
tracks of competition. GO PATRIOTS!
