Elizabeth Loera

Welcome Wildcats Scholars! My name is Elizabeth Loera (you pronounce it like "low-era") and I am so excited to be here at West Ridge. I am looking forward to a fabulous school year. I lived near the Y-in Oak Hill for all of my childhood. After I graduated from James Bowie High School, I went to Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos before it was named Texas State. I graduated with a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies with a specialization in Mathematics. 

This year will be my 23rd year of teaching, 19th in Middle school., and 2nd year here.  I started at Spring ISD (outside of Houston) for 5 years, Pflugerville ISD for 4 years, and Austin ISD for 12 years. Even though I am new to the school, I am very familiar with the area. I live about 8.5 miles from the school and will probably see a few of you out and about. If you see me out, please say hello.

I am married to a retired firefighter, Richard.  Together we have a blended family of 3 kids, Gracelyn (26), William (223, and Anastacia (20).  We live about 2 miles from Lake Travis where we like to enjoy time outside fishing, hiking, and kayaking. We have 3 dogs, Daisy, Casper and Duke.
