NACOGDOCHES, Texas – Former Stephen F. Austin men's basketball student-athlete Gerald Fonzie has been named principal at Nacogdoches ISD's McMichael Middle School and will take the reins of the campus this summer. Fonzie has served the last two years as principal at Brooks-Quinn-Jones Elementary in Nacogdoches, NISD's largest elementary school.
Fonzie takes over at McMichael as the school prepares to host all sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students in Nacogdoches. The campus was expanded as part of the 2018 bond package approved by Nacogdoches voters.
Prior to being named principal at BQJ in 2020, Fonzie served six years as an assistant principal at that campus. He began his career in public education in 2010 as a teacher at Nettie Marshall Academy of Dual Language, where he was named Teacher of the Year in 2011.
Fonzie is a native of Helena, Ark., and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Stephen F. Austin State University in 2008. As a senior, Fonzie captained the SFA men's basketball team that won 26 games and advanced to the National Invitational Tournament at the end of the season.
In 2010, Fonzie earned his Master's in Education Administration from SFA with certifications in physical education (EC-12) and principal certification (EC-12).
