Hello! My name is Mrs. Casteel and this is my first year at Mission West Elementary but my 12^th year in education. I began my experience in education in private school where I taught middle school and high school math and science then moved to central Texas for two years where I taught 5^th grade math and science. The last eight years of my career with FBISD I served as an elementary school Science Specialist teaching all students from kinder – 5^th.

In addition to my love for children and teaching, I am also a fitness enthusiast and strongly believe that physical health is just as important as academic learning. Without a strong and healthy body, children will not be able to use the knowledge and skills they have gained to their maximum potential.

I am very happy to be here at MWE to serve your children and I am looking forward to an amazing year!
