Hello! I am Lydia Wagner, the fifth grade math teacher at Nimitz. My family and I moved to Kerrville in 2017 in a fun adventure to experience life to its fullest. We love the Hill Country and didn’t want to waste any more time living outside of it. I live with my husband and son, along with our dogs, Mat and Willie, and our cat, Indiana Jones. We love to go on hikes, kayak, and eat Mexican food.

My job as an educator may be new, but I have a wide range of career experiences including marketing and public relations in professional sports, writing grants and fundraising for a non-profit, and assisting a technology entrepreneur. So let me tell you WHY I became an educator. Since being in the classroom, I have felt so much love and compassion for the children of our state. They are strong, kind, intelligent and filled with wonder. There are few things more exciting than seeing a child reach a goal they have been striving for. To be a part of a child’s education is an honor, and I am so excited to share it with you!
