Meet Mr. Ricky White

Greetings! My name is Ricky White, and I serve as assistant principal here at Walker Gamble Elementary School. 

The 2024-2025 school year will mark my eighteenth year of serving and educating students in S.C. public schools. In my career as an educator, I have had the pleasure of serving as an elementary teacher, afterschool coordinator, reading coach, assistant principal, principal, and district test coordinator/accountability coordinator. Those rich experiences have crafted me into the servant leader that I am today. 

I currently hold a BS. in Elementary Education from South Carolina State University, as well as a M.Ed. in school administration from Cambridge College. During the summer of 2024, I will complete my Ed.S. degree in educational leadership from Arkansas State University. 

I am originally from Clarendon County. However, I reside in Sumter County with my wife and our son. We also have an adult daughter that lives independently on the west coast. 

Serving here at Walker Gamble beside my colleagues and fellow educators has been one of the most challenging and exciting times of my career. I have the esteemed pleasure each day to work with a diverse group of students that are excited about learning and well aware of the importance of being able to compete both locally and globally. The leadership team is second to none and brings numerous skills that we use for planning, implementation, problem solving and support. 

I look forward to continuing serving the school in any capacity to help ensure that the needs of the whole school are met. It is my goal to use the skills that I possess to support Walker Gamble as we continue growing this world-class institution of learning. 

With Wolverine Pride,

Ricky White, Assistant Principal
