Kyla Mote, Assistant Principal
This year, I am starting my 20th year in education and my 6th year as an assistant principal at Matzke. I graduated from Cypress Creek High School, attended the University of Houston for my undergraduate degree and Lamar University for my graduate degree. While in the classroom I taught K,2,4,6,7 and 8 grade. I have been married to my husband Kevin for 16 years. We have two children, Mason who is an 8th grader and Maryn who is a 6th grader at Hamilton Middle School, two dogs, a cat and a bearded dragon. When I am not driving between Football, Piano, Bassoon, Drums, Softball, and Boy Scouts I enjoy quiet family time that might include playing games and watching NFL on tv. I love to scrapbook when I make time for myself.
