Hi! My name is Amanda Perez. I am from San Antonio but also grew up in a military household that traveled a lot. As a kid I would spend time with family in San Antonio, but then we ended up spending a total of 8 years stationed overseas in Germany. When we returned, I attended Samuel Clemens High School. I graduated from high school in 2002. Right after high school, I went to the University of Texas at San Antonio and graduated in 2007. 

I have been teaching since 2008 and I have been at Castle Hills Elementary since 2012.  I first worked with high school students and then primary grade levels. I love Castle Hills Elementary and I have called it my home away from home for 10 years now. I not only love this school, but I believe in it and it's mission. I trust it so much that my son attends Castle Hills Elementary. My husband and I live in San Antonio with our son, Anthony, and daughter, Ruby June. Anthony is 8 years old and Ruby will be 5 in November. 

I look forward to working with the students, families and the community of Castle Hills Elementary. 

We need children who not only answer the questions,

We need children who question the answers.
