Welcome!

     My name is Amy Gamble. I am starting my 18th year of teaching. This is my 8th year at AIS. I teach 5th grade ELA and Social Studies. My husband, Richard, is the vice principal at AMS and coaches football for AHS. I have two children, Taylor and Emory. Taylor graduated from AHS in 2018 and is pursuing a career in machine tech engineering. Emory, a 10th grader at AHS,  participates in the singers program and plays on the varsity volleyball team. I have two dogs, Daisy and Franco. I love spending time with my family and friends, reading, traveling to new places, and watching Alcoa football and volleyball games. I also love history and reading to learn more about the past. I am excited about this year and working with my students to achieve their goals and prepare for middle school!
