In 1947, he did graduate work at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and received the Master of Education De- gree from North Texas State University, Denton, Texas, in 1958. Dr. Tolbert has served as a teacher at the H. S. Thompson Elementary School, the Booker T. Washington High School, and as a teacher and senior counselor at the Lincoln High School. In 1955, he was appointed principal of the N, W. Harllee Elementary School and in 1956, was appointed as the first principal of the James Madison High School where he served until September, 1964, at which time he was appointed the first principal of the L.

He received the Bronze Star for outstanding contributions on the administrative level. Although Dr. Tolbert has distinguished himself in many areas of civic life, his administration as principal of the James Madison High School has been an outstanding endeavor. In 1963, The Croft Educational Services of New London, Connecticut, named Thomas Tolbert, Prin- cipal of James Madison HighSchool, Dallas, Texas, National Secondary Principal of the Year. The selection was made on the basis of nomination statements submitted by teachers of the various secondary schools of the nation.

Dr. Tolbert's school is always known to be a citadel of learning and culture because of the never-ending devotion and concern of this esteemed leader.
