Ms. Rachael Celia

I’m thrilled to be starting my fifth year in 4th grade at Boyce Elementary! Over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, but 4th is truly my favorite. I love helping students discover their passions, spark their curiosity, and grow into confident, independent learners.

Outside the classroom, you’ll often find me curled up with a good book, exploring nature on a hike, or spending time with my puppy, Vermeer. I’m so excited for another wonderful year of learning and laughter with our amazing Boyce Cardinals!

Hello! My name is Miss Elrod, and I’m excited to begin my first year at Boyce. I recently graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Elementary Education and am thrilled to start my teaching career in the classroom. As a Clarke County native, I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back to my hometown. Outside of school, I coach competitive cheer and enjoy attending concerts, watching football, traveling, and hiking. I look forward to working together to support and inspire our students.

Hi! I'm so excited to be at Boyce! In June 2023, my family and I moved here from Texas. I have 3 kids, a daughter and a son who will be at Boyce with me, and a daughter starting her first year at Penn State. I previously taught for 9 years, mostly in 2nd grade. I'm excited to help develop your child’s interest in math and get to know them this year. I'm looking forward to a great school year!
