 My name is Mrs. Dykhuis and I am happy to be working at Cedar Hill High School.  

 I was born and raised in Oklahoma and moved to New Mexico as an adult, where I became a teacher of Mathematics. 

I worked in the Lovington, New Mexico School system 8 years before moving to beautiful Naugatuck, Connecticut.  I taught in the Naugatuck school system for 7 years and then moved to the Dallas area. 

In addition, I am fluent in Spanish.    

This is my 7th year here at Cedar Hill High School.  I am looking forward to a wonderful longhorn year.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Dykhuis
