Hello! My name is Celina Boyce, and I’m so excited to begin my 8th year of teaching—and my 4th year as a 5th grade teacher here at LPES! I grew up in a military family, so I’ve lived in many places and don’t have one true hometown, but I call Charlotte, NC home now since my brother lives there and it’s where much of my family is based. My parents currently live in New York, and I’m proud to share that I’m half German!

When I’m not in the classroom, I love photography—it’s my favorite hobby—and hiking with my dog, gardening, spending time with friends and family, and traveling to new places. My favorite part of the school day is when I get to read to you. I LOVE books (reading is definitely my second favorite hobby!), and I can’t wait to explore so many wonderful stories together this year.
