While serving as an educator for the past seven years, Adrianna has focused on developing her students into the next generation of leaders. She facilitates student-run morning broadcasts and pioneers the Accelerated Reader Program, cultivating an environment of confidence in her students. When not in the classroom, she volunteers her time to the Northside Elementary Technology Club, Lego Club and Yearbook Committee. Transitioning from a classroom teacher to a media specialist in 2021, Mrs. Swearingen was a key factor in Northside Elementary’s overall school grade increasing by 12 percentage points, English Language Arts (ELA) learning gains rising 21 percentage points, and learning gains for the lowest quartile of students in ELA growing a whopping 41 percentage points.

She is proud of her military childhood and loves how the exposure to different cultures, learning and perspectives continues to positively impact her life both personally and professionally. Adrianna is a proud mom of two boys and wife of a Marine.
