    Hello! My name is Casey Baker and I am looking forward to another amazing year here at SSES! I have been in education for 15 years and this is my second year as a school counselor. I am a proud Dripping Springs alumni ... go Tigers! I graduated from Texas State University with my Bachelors in Science and Lamar University with my Masters in Professional School Counseling. I have three amazing children: Holden (9), Blake (7) and Neely (4). We all love to spend our time together outdoors by the water and riding bikes. I am looking forward to another year at SSES working alongside you and your family.

    Abbey Smart:

    I am beyond excited to be one of the school counselors at Sycamore Springs Elementary this year! I just completed my 16th year as a classroom teacher and have had the honor of teaching at Sycamore Springs Elementary since it opened. I decided to start my own educational journey to become a school counselor so I could focus on the social emotional needs of students to help support their learning. I completed my Masters in School Counseling at the University of Texas at Tyler in May of 2021. I have loved being a part of the Dripping Springs ISD family and feel fortunate to continue my career here as a school counselor.  I live in Dripping Springs with my husband, Whitten, and two children, Ryan and Jackson.
