Tiffany Cummings – This will be my 4th year teaching 2nd grade at WCHE and my 8th year teaching. I graduated from Texas A&M University. I am married and have two daughters who attend Lake Travis Middle School.
Brandy Sykes -- I am so excited to be on the 2nd Grade Team for my 8th year of teaching! I love being a part of the Tiger family at WCHE! I am a native Texan and grew up in the North Texas area. I went to Midwestern State University and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I am certified to teach PreK-8th grade. My husband and I are college sweethearts and have been married for 22 years! We have four precious children, and they all attend schools in the LTISD...a 12th grader at LTHS, an 8th and a 6th grader at LTMS, and one at WCHE in 3rd grade. They are my world! We also have the cutest Mini Goldendoodle, Goldie! I love spending time with family and friends, traveling, baking, decorating, going to baseball games, and watching movies. I am truly honored to have your child this year and absolutely love creating a classroom where everyone feels safe and loved, so they can learn and grow to their full potential! Go Tigers!!
Tracy Vogel -- I am a born and raised Texan from the DFW metroplex. I have been here in the Austin area for 17 years and have taught for 20 years! I love teaching students but learn even more from them. I have my Bachelor's degree from Texas Tech University and my Master's degree from Texas A&M University. Gig 'em Aggies! I am so excited to be part of the WCHE family! Go Tigers!
Heather Wachsmann -- This will be my 18th year teaching! 17 years in second grade and one in first grade. I began teaching because I had a love of it from the inspiration of my 3rd grade teacher. After receiving my degree in education from Texas State University in 2007, I continued on with my Masters Degree. I became a Teacher Fellow with Texas State and Leander ISD and worked through school as well receiving my degree in Curriculum in 2008. Later, I decided to go back to further my education and earned my Principal certification in 2016. I enjoy helping kids learn and
