Gary Cumberland planned to be a kindergarten teacher.
That never happened for the retiring Shawano School District superintendent, but he has been involved in public education in one form or fashion for more than 35 years. Now, Cumberland is saying farewell to life in the public school system as he takes the principal position with Sacred Heart Catholic School.
Cumberland’s passion for children can be traced back to when he was in high school. He said he enjoyed babysitting, and he particularly enjoyed caring for a boy who lived next to him who was deaf.
