Pam Pannell, a proud native of Gulfport, has been an integral part of the education sector since 2002. Her journey began as an assistant teacher and evolved as she took on roles as a teacher and principal. With a doctorate in education leadership and a business degree, Pam has the unique combination of academic excellence and administrative prowess.

A Desire for Change
Pam’s path to Huntington Learning Center began with a desire for change, while staying true to her passion for education. “I was ready for something new, but I knew I wanted to remain in education,” Pam recalls. Driven by her love for family, church, and teaching, Pam started to hear more about Huntington Learning Center through her network in the education industry. The compelling stories of transformation and success sparked her interest, and she began to delve deeper into what Huntington had to offer.
What truly captivated Pam were the numbers, statistics, and testimonials from people who had seen remarkable improvements in their children’s academic performance. “Hearing from families who experienced significant improvements with their children lit a fire in me,” she said. Motivated by these success stories, Pam decided to take the leap and secure her first Huntington Learning Center location in her hometown of Gulfport.
Throughout her career, Pam has been known as a fierce advocate for students who need extra help. This commitment aligns perfectly with Huntington’s mission to give every student the best education possible through individualized support tailored to each student’s unique needs. “The academic evaluation process at Huntington stood out to me because of the detailed focus on understanding each student’s strengths and weaknesses,” Pam explained. “It’s the key to making a real difference in their educational journey.”
Creating an Impact
Pam is excited about the opportunity to watch students grow, help teachers develop professionally, and make a long-term impact on the community. “This is what it’s all about—whether it’s building a student’s confidence, helping them get into college, or securing a scholarship. Leading by example and building trust are fundamental to creating lasting relationships and driving success in education,” she emphasized.
At Huntington Learning Center, we are honored to have Pam Pannell join our organization.
