My name is Yolanda Swanson, and I am a Special Education teacher and a Case Manager with the Academic Adjustment program here at Frenship High School. Prior to moving to Lubbock, I had the opportunity to teach at the elementary and junior high level for fifteen years in both Special Education and General Education.

After moving to Lubbock, I returned to the teaching profession after taking a few years off to be a full-time caregiver. I began as a Substitute Teacher with the Frenship Independent School District. Then, I worked one school year as a Paraprofessional at the high school and now I am in my second year as a teacher at the high school for a total of eighteen years in the education profession. I love being a teacher and I never want to stop growing and learning. I hope to instill a love of learning to my students as well.
