Hello! My name is Mrs. Swinson and I am so excited to be a Fourth Grade Science/Social Studies teacher at Wolfe City ISD. I graduated from Texas A&M University - Commerce and started my teaching career in 2000. I have 20 years in education that includes teaching at the elementary level and training/advising student teachers at the collegiate level.
My husband, Gaylen, is a ranch manager and we have three children, two who have graduated and one is a junior in high school. We also share our home with our dogs Roxy and Doc. They keep us entertained! We stay busy running a cattle and hay operation and going camping with our extended family. My favorite hobby is reading and enjoying the outdoors. I look forward to a wonderful year and look forward to getting to know my students and their families!
