Ram Talantis, Assistant Principal

Mr. Talantisn has been an educator for 19 years, and 2025/2026 will be my ninth year in Gulf Shores. I will be an Assistant Principal and Assistant Athletic Director at Gulf Shores Middle this year and am excited about working as an administrator surrounded by such a wonderful faculty and staff. 

His career started at Tuscaloosa Middle School which quickly split, moving Mr. Talantis to Southview Middle School where he served in many roles, from the inaugural baseball coach to the Faculty Chair for Title I and BBSST (RTI) committees. In 2012, Mr. Talantis moved south to Fairhope Middle School to teach English, PE, ACCESS, and Drama. During that time, he graduated with honors from the University of South Alabama’s Education Leadership program. He then moved to Gulf Shores High School, where he served as an English teacher, Building Test Coordinator, Middle School Baseball Head Coach, Guided Reading Specialist, and Senior Success Coach until the 2022-2023 school year. 

Mr. Talantis lives in Gulf Shores with his wife Amanda, son Alex, and daughter Izzy. He enjoys gardening, cycling, traveling, cooking, and family time whenever he gets the chance. His wife also works in the Gulf Shores City School System at the high school where she has many roles. With two kids in the system and my wife teaching at GSHS, my family is thoroughly intertwined with the Gulf Shores community and can't wait to be a part of the amazing things to come. Go Dolphins!
