Meet Your 6-1 Teachers


  Ashlyn Etheredge
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!¨

Carol Lollar
Science
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


Matthew Sutter
Social Studies
This will be my fifth year teaching at Bumpus and my second year teaching 6th grade.  I have a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Social Studies Education from Auburn University and a master’s degree in the same area from the University of West Alabama.  I also coach boys and girls tennis here at Bumpus.  My free time is spent with my wife, Amanda and our daughter, Hallie Cate who just turned ONE in June! Looking forward to a great year here at Bumpus!
