About Me
Welcome to the 2024-25 school year at Cumberland Academy Middle School "CAMS." I am so excited to spend another year with this excellent staff and meet our 6th-8th grade students. I have worked in education for over 30 years, 13 of which were focused on the middle school student. I have a background in K-12 physical education, technology and education administration. I received my Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of Texas Pan American (UTRGV) and my Master of Education Administration from West Texas A&M University. I am a wife of 39 years to Coach Darin Swift and a mom of three grown children, CJ and his wife Caitlan and Mikayla. I love to travel and enjoy the beautiful landscape of our United States of America. My down time is spent relaxing on my back porch and enjoying my little Aussie/dachshund, Daisy Mae.
I am extremely excited to have Coach Swift and Mikayla join the CA family this year! Coach Swift will be at CAMS as a CTE teacher and work with the athletic department as the Head Girls' Basketball coach and assistant track. Our daughter, Mikayla will be at the CAUE as a PE teacher and assist with the volleyball, basketball and track programs at the high school.
Cumberland Academy is all about family and I am happy to be a part of that family!
