Swift Elementary was first known as West Side Elementary. It was opened in the fall of 1949
at 401 Summit Avenue. Swift then moved to its present location, 1101 South Fielder, in February of 1971.
It was named after the late AISD teacher, Ms. Ruby Ray Swift. Mr. Lewis Risinger was principal at that time
and served from 1958-1977. Mrs. Gloria Capps then served as principal from 1977-1982. After Ms. Capps left Swift,
Mr. William T. Bryant became the principal and served from 1982-1992. After Mr. Bryant’s retirement,
Mrs. Sandra Thompson became principal and served in that capacity from 1992-2000.
The current principal, Mrs. Patti Casey, has served the school since 2000.
