Dr. Gibson and her husband, Jason, have three children: Reece (13), Jace (16), and Taylor (19).  She feels honored to have served at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College as the Dean of Teaching and Learning at the Perkinston Campus— but is ecstatic to return home to the Gulfport School District as the Principal of Gulfport High School.
