I am beyond excited to start my third year here with Wimberley Tennis! Before my move to the Hill Country, I spent the previous 3 years at Round Rock HS, serving as the Head Tennis Coach there. Before that, I coached at Cedar Valley Middle School in Round Rock for 5 years. My wife, Kaylyn, and I have a 4 year old, Barrett.
I graduated from The University of Texas with a degree in General Kinesiology. I then attained my Master's from Texas State University in Education. I also have my Principal Certification from Lamar University.
Hi, my name is Cade Pharris.
I am in my 11th year with the district and 15th in education. I attended college at Lubbock Christian University. Once done with school I went on to South Plains College to obtain my Emergency Medical Technician. I have been an EMT for 14 years now. I worked for Lubbock EMS and for Brownfield EMS in West Texas. I have a passion and a drive for the health care field and love to show others how awesome it can be to help others when they have an emergency. I have been married for 16 years and have three kids, Raney (20), Haden (17) and Chesni (11). I am very excited to be here in Wimberley and am looking forward to a great year in the Health Science program and on the courts in the spring! If you have any questions or concerns, please fell free to contact me!
