Cynthia Blackburn - I am Mrs.Blackburn and this will be my third year at West Cypress Hills ELementary. I was born and raised in Austin, TX, and I have two daughters who attend WCHE. I am so excited to be joining the Specials team this school year and getting able to know all of the kids.
Megan Dunn – This is my 10th year with the LTISD. I have been an educator for 21 years. The lovely artwork displayed throughout the WCHE campus is a testament to the talents of our WCHE Tigers. My husband and I live in the West Cypress Hills neighborhood. I have one son who is a 2023 LTHS graduate. He will be attending the University of Arkansas this fall.

Chelsea Hill – I am entering my 11th year of teaching, and my 10th here at WCHE! I was very honored to be named the WCHE Teacher of the Year 2023-2024. I always knew I wanted to be a music teacher, growing up in a home always full of music. I attended Sam Houston State University, where I received my Bachelor of Music in music education. My favorite instruments to play are flute, piano, ukulele, and voice. I live in Austin with my husband, Kory, and we love going hiking and taking on creative projects.
Missa Mayes -- I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah but raised in Houston, Texas. I received my Bachelors degree from Texas Tech University in Physical Education and my Masters degree in Counseling from St Edwards University. I have taught in Austin, San Angelo, and Post,Texas. I live in Lakeway, Texas, with my husband Jon, and have two children, Sutton and Sam . I love to run, hike and lift weights in spare time. I enjoy music and riding horses.
Cathy Seidenberger – I have been a teacher for over 31 years, 26 of those years in Lake Travis. I attended the University of Texas at Austin for my undergraduate degree in Applied Learning and Development and Sam Houston State University for my Master’s degree in Library and Information Science. I have been a classroom teacher, special education teacher, and bilingual teacher, with the newest role as school librarian. I and my husband have 2 children and live in the Spicewood area. Together, we enjoy reading, hiking, mountain biking, and traveling. I look forward to a great year with your child--full of books, stories, and adventures! “I love watching kids grow as readers, as learners, and as thinkers.”
Amanda Williams -- My name is Coach Williams! I have four kids and three of them are attending school in the LTISD this year. My family moved to Spicewood from the Houston area last year, and we love it here. On the weekends you can find me cheering on the sidelines of a softball or baseball game or finding a fun new place around Lake Travis to hang out.
Erin Wyatt -- This will be my 2nd year at WCHE. In almost 30 years of teaching, few years have been more exciting as last year. Between crazy fun Discovery projects and conquering Accelerated Math with the highest honors, my students help to form a strong bond and family feel when entering our classroom. Our way of celebrating failures and using those failures to lead us to success show maturity, humor, and a desire to learn in all that we do! I feel my years of serving in every level of education have led back Into the classroom to facilitate the learning of our future.
