KELLIE RAYMOND
Principal
I am elated to serve as the first principal for Cypress Springs Elementary for the 2023-2024 school year! I also had the opportunity to serve for six years as the principal for Dripping Springs Elementary and six years as the assistant principal at Walnut Springs. We have a fantastic community, and I am excited about year 3 at CSES! I began my teaching career at Austin ISD at Cunningham Elementary in 2003, teaching first grade. I continued my education journey in 2006, teaching third grade at Dripping Springs Elementary and Rooster Springs Elementary.
I believe in transformational leadership and in goal-setting to accomplish great things! All teachers and students can achieve greatness, and it is my role to enable greatness in people everywhere! The children are the purpose of my career as an administrator. Education is one of the most rewarding careers because we witness student and staff achievement and growth every day.
I am a proud wife and mother to three children. Kasey is a speech-language pathologist in Oklahoma City. Curt is an economics graduate from Cornell University, where he played football for the Big Red, and he is now studying and playing football for Texas Christian University (TCU). Go Frogs! Our youngest, Kylar, is a senior at Texas State University in college studying marketing. My husband and I love watching our children participate and compete in sports, and we love running and staying fit to "sharpen my saw", I am a 12-year cancer survivor. Most importantly, I AM A LIFE CHANGER and A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTOR.
