Jordan Livermore, Principal
I have had the privilege of being an educator in Forsyth County for the past twenty-one years. I have served as a behavior intervention teacher, co-teacher for all grade levels, special education department chair, and assistant principal. In addition, I have earned a bachelor’s degree in education, a master’s degree in special education, and a specialist degree in leadership. This is my seventh year as principal of Cumming Elementary. I am thrilled with the work we are doing to meet the needs of all students and with our efforts to connect with families. I am here to serve you and your family. Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can do for you.

Megan Bass, 4th - 5th Assistant Principal
I am thrilled to be returning to Cougar Nation for my 13th year in Forsyth County Schools. I attended University of West Georgia (Go Wolves!) and earned a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. After beginning my teaching career, I also earned my master’s and specialist degrees from University of West Georgia. Additionally, I hold reading and gifted endorsements, as well as a Leadership Add-On certificate. I previously taught 1st grade, 4th grade, grades K–5 in the Early Intervention Program, and served as an Instructional Coach. When I am away from school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three children, Bree, Rhett, and Cole. We love being outdoors or at the lake, watching sports, and having movie nights at home.
