Mrs. Lauren Swicegood

Welcome to 2nd grade! I am so excited about starting my 20th year of teaching. I have taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade—all face-to-face and virtual, too! I have also had the privilege of teaching transitional kindergarten for students with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Reading Intervention for several years.

I grew up in the West Columbia area and currently live in Lexington with my husband of 17 years (Josh), our daughter Ava (7th grade), and our son Landon (1st grade). Most of all, I enjoy spending time with my family! We have game nights every week, movie nights, and trips together. I also enjoy reading and learning about history and, of course, shopping!

This is going to be a great year of learning together!
