We are excited to welcome Coach Rich Hammons to the Wellman- Union Wildcat Family! He will be teaching High School History and joining our coaching staff.

He says, "I am entering my 20th year of teaching and coaching. I have a deep love for history and look forward to sharing that with my students. For 19 years, I was the head coach of the Brownfield Cubs tennis team. During those years, we won 14 district championships, had 68 individual district champions, and qualified for the TTCA State Team Tennis Tournament 10 times. In 2015, I was recognized as the TTCA 3A Region 1 Coach of the Year, and in 2022 was awarded the USTA Best High School Coach in Texas Tennis. My biggest joy is found in watching former students and players becoming successful in their own lives and careers.

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in History, from Texas Tech University, and my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Kansas. I will celebrate 20 years of marriage with my wife, Melinda, in July. We have two sons, one who loves to play tennis and one who loves to build anything Lego."

We are excited to announce Mrs. Amie Little will be joining or WU Family! She will be teaching Junior High Mathematics for us next year.

"Hi, my name is Amie Little. As a new teacher, I wanted to share a bit about myself:

I bring both experience and passion to my work in education. After earning my Master’s Degree in Education and stepping away from a career in the corporate world, I discovered my true calling in the classroom! For the past 15 years, I have been dedicated to teaching, where I find deep fulfillment in connecting with my students, and I strive to make a positive impact on their lives. I value the relationships and sense of community that come with a small-town environment and I am excited to be part of Wellman-Union.

Outside of school, I enjoy a full life with my husband of 30 years, who is a pediatric ER nurse, and our two adult children—one currently in medical school and the other attending Lubbock Christian University. In my free time, I love building Lego models, traveling, and spending time at our family ranch near Matador.

Thank you for welcoming me to Wellman-Union, and I look forward to meeting all of you in the fall!"

Help us formally welcome Mr. Edwin Wuthrich to Wellman- Union! He started with us back in March, and we are so excited to announce he will be teaching High School Mathematics for us next year.

He says, "I have 27 years of experience teaching mathematics and other secondary-level courses. My educational focus has been on helping students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and real-world application skills. Above all, my greatest goal has always been to make a positive impact on students’ lives and contribute to their growth into productive, well-rounded individuals."
