About Miss Lucas:

I grew up in Santa Fe, Texas a rural town 20 miles south of Houston. I 
graduated from Santa Fe High School in 1999 and immediately began my college 
education at the University of Houston. I am the oldest child of four and am 
very close to my family. My family and I like to travel all over the United 
States. I have been to California, South Dakota, and Alaska to name a few. We 
do a lot of site seeing, photography, hiking, and camping while traveling in 
the summer. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Houston in May 
2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. This is my 
third year teaching second grade. I taught first grade for one year and can 
proudly say that I have been a member of Dabbs' faculty for four years now! I 
live in Webster with my cat, Orion and bearded dragon, Dabby. In my spare 
time I like to read, eat out, work on our website, and visit with friends 
and family.

My mom, sister, and I spent a week hiking in Colorado last summer.

my diverse students.
