Mr. Hodge, Principal

My name is Ms. Switzer, and I am excited to serve as your Assistant Principal at Inman Elementary School. My journey in education began at this very school when I completed my student teaching here in 2nd grade during the 2011-2012 academic year. Since then, I have been an employee of Spartanburg District One, serving as a K5, 2nd, and 3rd-grade teacher, and as a Math Coach for two years. 

I have attained a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and two Master's degrees, one in Education and another in Administrative Leadership. Outside of school, I enjoy spending my free time playing games, going to breakout rooms, hiking/kayaking, socializing with friends and family, and traveling to new places. 

I eagerly returned to Inman Elementary to serve as the Assistant Principal because of its strong family support, dedicated staff, and exceptional students. It truly is a special community. My goal is to create a safe, engaging, and enjoyable learning environment that encourages students and staff to reach their fullest potential. This school year will be the best one yet! Let's go, Eagles!
