Celebrating Our Cumberland Academy Principals! October is Principal Appreciation Month, and we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible leaders who serve our Cumberland Academy students, staff, and families every day.

Our principals are more than school leaders. They are encouragers, problem-solvers, instructional leaders, advocates, and the steady presence our campuses need each day. They build relationships, support teachers, celebrate students, navigate challenges, and help create school communities where every student can know, “I am known. I belong. I am safe. I am valued.”

We are grateful for the time, energy, heart, and leadership our principals bring to Cumberland each day. Their work makes a difference—not only in the classrooms, but throughout our entire school community.

Please join us in celebrating and thanking our principals for all they do!

💙💛 **HAPPY CUSTODIAN APPRECIATION DAY!** 💛💙

Today, CAHS celebrates three amazing members of our team...Ms. Baker, Mr. Johnson, and Ms. Rodgers! 🎉👏

Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and positive attitudes each and every day. Your commitment to keeping our campus clean, safe, and welcoming does not go unnoticed! ✨🏫

We are incredibly grateful for everything you do for our students, staff, and Cumberland family! 💙💛

Please help us show them some love and appreciation today! 👏🎊

⚔️ WE APPRECIATE YOU!
💙💛 GO KNIGHTS! 💛💙

Cumberland Academy and The Leadership Academy Faculty and Parents,

In September of 1996 Norma and I stepped out in faith and founded a private school focused on meeting the needs of one of our children and others in the community with learning challenges. Two years later we applied for and opened the first Charter School in East Texas allowing every child to attend tuition free. With a simple philosophy of focusing education on the individual needs of each child the school has grown to what it has become today.

During the past year, Norma has retired from her Superintendent position and this month I am stepping down as Board Chairman.

As we transition to "Retirement", Norma and I want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the teachers and staff who took that mission and put it into practice and to all the families in our community who entrusted the education of
their children to us.

Each and every child is as precious as is their education.

With warm regards and thanksgiving, we thank you,

Dr. and Mrs. Cotton
