Staff Bios from Staff Directory
Kelsey Morgan, PE Teacher
This will be my second year of teaching and I am absolutely thrilled to have found a career that I am so passionate about. I received my degree in Communications from The University of Georgia (GO DAWGS!) in my hometown of Athens, GA. I have worked for the Dallas Cowboys and Boosterthon in the past, but have always dreamed about teaching PE. I obtained my alternative certification and am extremely grateful to be at Matzke! When not a school, you can find me very involved in my church, spending time with friends and family or playing tennis. I was a dancer since the age of 6, so I also love me a great hip hop class :)

Joanne Madrigal, Kindergarten
My name is Joanne Madrigal and I grew up on the Northwest side of Houston and attended CFISD schools and loved the idea of coming back and teaching in the same district. I am a graduate of Texas A&M University. I have been teaching kindergarten in Cypress Fairbanks ISD for 17.5 years. I was at Kirk Elementary for 2.5 years, Frazier Elementary for 12 years and have been part of the Matzke Family for 3 years. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family. I have 2 nieces and a nephew that I love to hang out with. I also enjoy reading, shopping, working out, watching movies, attending Houston & Aggie sporting events, scrapbooking and anything else crafty!
