Language Arts

This will be my third year teaching at Bumpus and my second year teaching 6th grade. I have a bachelor's degree in Secondary Education from the University of South Alabama, and certifications to teach Social Studies and Language Arts. I also coach cheer here at Bumpus and gymnastics outside of the school. I spend all of my free time with my four-year-old son, Ezra! Our family loves staying very active and visiting the beach as much as possible. Can't wait to meet you all!

Cindy Simmons

Math

I have taught middle school math for 24 years and the last 20 years have been at Bumpus Middle School.   I attended Samford University and earned a B.S. in Elementary Education and a Middle School Math Endorsement. I have two daughters that are in 7th and 10th grade.   In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, Pinterest projects, and cooking.  Being a Florida native, my college football chants are split between ̈Go Noles!" and ̈Roll Tide!¨

I hope you are going to love middle school as much as I do! This is my 23rd year of teaching! 19 of those years have been in 6th grade Science as a Hoover Buc! I am a National Board Certified Teacher! I have a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from UAB and a master’s degree from Montevallo.  I also have an endorsement certificate for Secondary science.  I have two amazing sons! Matthew lives in Madison, Wisconsin working on a PhD in Genetics. Michael lives in Hoover and is a Logistics Broker. Both graduated from the Hoover school system and with Honors from Bama! (RTR!) Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and our dog, Scooby! I love the beach and the mountains
