About
About Me
My name is Tyrel Eddy, I feel blessed to have called this community home for the past 16 years. I am originally from Tropic, Utah, and have deep roots in the Southern Utah area. I am eager to serve as your advocate on the school board and help shape the direction of our educational system. Thank you for considering me for this important role.
My Family
Family is very important to me. My wife and I are blessed with four beautiful children, three of whom currently attend Iron County Schools. When our youngest was born, I made the decision to step away from my career as an electrician to stay home and care for our children while my wife pursued her career as a local real estate agent.
I am highly committed to the prosperity of our schools, especially because I have three children whom I drop off at the school doors every day. I am prepared to devote my time and energy, as I have done over the past three years serving on the local School Community Council at Cedar Middle School.

My 6 Focuses
Student-Centered Learning
I support prioritizing “learning first”, improving our academic scores, and helping our students become more proficient in core subjects.
Strengthen School Community Council Programs
I am passionate about strengthening the School Community Council programs at our schools, which are currently being underutilized. Drawing from my experience at Cedar Middle School over the last three years, I have actively played a role in enhancing these programs to better serve our community and foster collaboration between parents, educators, and administrators.
Community Engagement and Transparency
Building strong partnerships between schools, families, and the community is essential for student success. I am committed to fostering open communication, transparency, and collaboration among all stakeholders to ensure that everyone has a voice in shaping the future of our schools.
Support for Educators
Our teachers are the backbone of our education system, and they deserve our unwavering support. I will work alongside educators to ensure they have the tools they need to be successful in the classroom.
Keep Political Pressures Out of Our Schools
I am committed to keeping political pressures out of our schools, ensuring that decisions are made based on the best interests of our students and not influenced by political agendas.
Ensure Financial Responsibility
This is paramount, especially with the rapid growth in our area. As a prospective member of the school board, I am committed to conducting thorough assessments of how tax dollars are utilized. While investment in our schools is crucial, it's equally essential that every dollar spent benefits our community to the fullest extent possible.

"I am pleased to endorse my husband, Tyrel Eddy, for the Iron County School Board. This is one of the most critical positions in elected government today. We need leaders who are willing to roll up their sleeves and get to work by empowering teachers, standing up for parents' rights, and removing outside pressures from the classroom. We need parents on the school board who understand the daily realities of our public schools. Our children need the support of strong leaders now more than ever as they face unimaginable challenges. Tyrel, as a parent who drops our kids off at school every day, understands these challenges. He can dedicate the time and energy needed for this vital role. He is committed to keeping our values intact while striving for excellence in education. Tyrel has my full support in this endeavor."

"As an educator in Iron County, I have seen first-hand the importance of parents and families being very involved in the education of our children.
Students tend to find greater levels of achievement, and more overall success, as their parents and families get more involved in the schools and the systems that provide the environments of learning.
That’s why I am so happy that Tyrel Eddy has decided to run for a seat on the Iron County School Board.
I have known Tyrel for many years and I know how important his family is to him. As a father he is great at making sure that his children are safe and happy in their lives and through our conversations he has made it clear that he is concerned not only at home and in the neighborhood, but also while his children are at school.
He’s concerned for the safety, but also the quality of learning that his and all children are receiving in the classroom. He knows the value of a good teacher and the role they play in educating our children. He supports safety in the classroom and in the hallways. He knows teaching isn’t easy and he also understands that there is a growing issue with teacher retention in our schools. He is willing to address the causes of this and find solutions to the problems facing teachers, concerning safety, and protecting their hard to work to provide a happy and safe environment in their classrooms.
I appreciate Tyrel and feel he would be an outstanding board member, and feel that he has the students and teacher’s best interest at heart. I know he will be approachable and consider all sides in making well thought out decisions going forward."
