My name is Ty Vanderford, and I am excited to join North Bay Elementary as one of the new assistant principals. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, and Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Mississippi. This is my fifth year as part of the Indian Nation family, and I’m thrilled to continue my journey in this incredible district.

North Bay is recognized as one of the top elementary schools in Mississippi, and I am eager to contribute to its ongoing success. Together, we will continue instilling our core values in every student, helping them become the best individuals they can be while striving for excellence from all, for all!
