About

Hello, Wanke families! My name is Samantha Weissler, and I am honored to serve as the proud Principal of Wanke Elementary School. My journey in education began as a 5th-grade teacher in Somerset ISD, where I spent several years honing my skills and growing as an educator, eventually serving as a master teacher at the elementary level.

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Education from UTSA (Go Runners!) and my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Concordia University. Additionally, I hold certifications in Special Education and ESL.Before joining Wanke, I spent seven years as a Site Coordinator for Texas Tech University’s College of Education, supporting student teachers as they prepared for their own classrooms. I then transitioned to Judson ISD, where I served as an Academic Coach, working closely with teachers to enhance instruction and boost student success.

My passion lies in making a meaningful impact on students’ lives. I am committed to guiding, mentoring, and empowering students to become successful, confident, and productive citizens.

Becoming a Wanke Wolf has been an incredible experience, and I am truly grateful to be part of this amazing school family. I look forward to building strong connections with our community, staff, parents, and—most importantly—our students!
