After retiring from Early ISD, Mike and Mona Tumlinson look back on careers
Brownwood Bulletin
EARLY To many of their students, Early ISD teachers Mike and Mona Tumlinson were simply “Coach T” and “Miss T.”
The husband-and-wife duo retired from teaching at the end of the 2020-21 school year, leaving a sparkling education legacy that totaled 75 years 39 for Mike, and 36 for Mona.
The Tumlinsons came to Early from San Antonio 27 years ago, and Mona finished her career as a seventh-grade reading teacher at Early Middle School.
Mike worked for 24 years in the Early ISD and three in Brownwood. His time in Early included working six years as an administrator, but that world wasn t for him. He finished his career teaching advanced biology, anatomy and physiology at Early High School.
