My name is Denise Landeros-Schmitz. I was born and raised in Mexico. I graduated from UNAM (University of Mexico) Goya! I have been teaching for 17 years, 7 years in Austin, and 10 years here in Fort Worth. This will be my 6th year at Westcliff. I am so fortunate to be at this school, working with the most amazing staff and families. Working with young children has always been a passion of mine, they are eager to learn and play!

I look forward to working with you and your children! GO WRANGLERS!

Hi! My name is Crystal Lopez and I am so excited to be teaching Kindergarten at Westcliff this year. I have been teaching since 2017 and I have taught Kindergarten at Westcliff for my entire teaching career. I am a graduate from UTA with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (Education). I have three little boys, two of them are currently attending Westcliff, while the other is at Paschal High School. A few of my hobbies include traveling, hiking, working out, gardening, crafting, and listening to live music. I chose to become a teacher because I want to help students find a love for learning and encourage them to do their absolute best to reach their full potential.
