District Court Judge Tiffany M. Winfield praises Cumberland County Schools, notes alumni scholarships
Summary
District Court Judge Tiffany Marie Winfield, a graduate of Cumberland County Schools, credited the district with shaping her career and said her graduating class recently provided scholarships to current students.
District Court Judge Tiffany Marie Winfield, a graduate of Cumberland County Schools, told meeting attendees that the district “laid the foundation for my career by instilling in me self confidence and discipline.”
Winfield said her participation in forensics and the speech and debate team at E. E. Smith High School helped her “overcome my fear of public speaking” and taught “the discipline in preparing for national competitions.”
She described Cumberland County Schools as an environment that “recognizes an individual student's strengths” rather than using “a one size fits all formula,” and said she has remained in contact with classmates since graduation. Winfield added that her class recently marked its 20-year anniversary and “were blessed to be able to give back in the form of scholarships because we knew the importance of what lied ahead of these students after graduation.”
The remarks were delivered as an alumni reflection; no board action or vote was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
