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 dog, Willie, and our cat, Indiana Jones. We love to go on hikes, kayak, and eat Mexican food.

I did not begin my career as an educator. I have a wide range of 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!
