Welcoming Mr. Lester Wolff!
Mr. Wolff was born in San Pedro, CA, and was raised in the midwest. He moved to Texas in 1985 to try his hand in golf business before starting his career in education. He began his education career as an elementary school teacher in the Arlington ISD. While still with the Arlington ISD, he served as an Elementary Assistant Principal for 3 years, and Elementary Principal for 7 years, and the Director of Personnel for 4 years.
Moving closer to our neighborhood, Mr. Wolff served as the Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources in the Eanes ISD for 9 years.
Although he retired in 2016, the Lake Travis ISD is fortunate to have him serving as an Interim Administrator/Substitute for the past 2 years.
Mr. Wolff has been married to his lovely wife, Jennifer, almost 32 years. Mr. Wolff and his wife have a son and a daughter. He enjoys traveling, golf, bowling, watching sports--especially Nebraska Cornhusker football! And, now, he is also enjoying getting to know our Tigers and their families.
Please join me in extending a hearty welcome to Mr. Lester Wolff.
Saying goodbye to WCHE in 2019
For these past few years I have been blessed to serve this amazing community and these incredible young people. That is what makes leaving so hard. While I am thrilled to open Bee Cave Middle School this upcoming school year, West Cypress Hills will always remain close to my heart, as will all of you.
I deeply appreciate all of the kind words of encouragement I've received over these past two days and look forward to making every last moment on my campus count! While I will be here for the next two weeks, I will be meeting with our PTO Board and Campus Leadership Teams to discuss the next steps in the transition process. We will be sending out more information as the week progresses so everyone remains informed.
I hope you will join me in welcoming our new Interim Principal, Mr. Lester Wolff, who will be joining me next week to begin familiarizing himself with our wonderful students and staff. He is thrilled to become part of all of the incredible learning planned for 2019! Stay tuned for more information on our new leader, Mr. Wolff.
In the meantime, it's business as usual around here for our Tigers as we dive back into another outstanding year of learning. It was so refreshing to see all of your children settle back into their routines and hear them share their exciting adventures of the holiday season today. Being a part of your children's lives has been a privilege and I look forward to hearing all about their ongoing accomplishments. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your families- it has truly been a great honor, Tigers.
Happy New Year WCHE! It's a wonderful day to learn together and lead together in 2019!
Warmest Regards,
Amanda
