Hi! I am Ms. Lexie and I’m so excited to be teaching the 2-year-olds this year. I have previously taught infants, 1-year-olds, 2-year-olds, kindergarten, and substituted in middle and high school. This will be my 4th year teaching and is my second year at Grace Education Academy. I was born in New York and moved to Florida when I was 8 years old. I’ve always had a genuine love and passion for kids, as I raised two boys –ages two and three- for 4 years when I was 17 years old! I have my 45 DCF training hours and certificate. I am also fully certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED. I am currently enrolled to attend Marchman Technical College in the fall to obtain my CDA Credential, and then will be moving towards getting my Directors Credential. My goal is to ensure the safety and happiness of each child while learning in my classroom. I am beyond thankful and blessed to have the opportunity to work at and be a part of Grace Education Academy. I am looking forward to this year – its going to be great!

Many Blessings to each and everyone! God is so amazing that I can hardly imagine what life would be life without Him in it! Amen! I am so bless to begin my 2nd year here with Grace Education Academy. It truly is a place to call home! From staff to students to parents, we walk in the door and we are miraculously transformed into a family reunion on a daily basis. This is an amazing place to work and even that much more blessed to be a teacher! When my children and I moved here from NYC last year, I had no idea what God had planned for us. Working with Dr. Rivera-Tubbs has given me the ability to feel that not only is she a boss who respects her staff, but that she is the best mentor that I have had and although not biologically my mom, I call her mom! She is loving and caring and I grow every day under her guidance and mentorship! It is a place where my three daughters can grow and learn to be leaders and followers of Christ without feeling as if they are not allowed to speak of Jesus out in the open! We begin our day at Grace with prayer and it is our favorite time of the day! Chapel day is every Wednesday, and I get to enjoy watching our youngest students worshipping our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Amen!

Hello and God Bless
My name is Heidy Perez. I am going on my third year with Grace Education. During my first year, I was as an assistant to Mrs. Ayuso in the Kindergarten Classroom. Last year, I began teaching first grade and attending St. Leo's where I am earning my Bachelor's degree in elementary education. As you can see, I have three children and I am married to the love of my life, George. I have years of experience working with children whether at church or in an educational setting. Children are my passion and I am so thankful that God has given me this opportunity to work in a school where ALL children are accepted.
Hello everyone! My name is Ms. Nicole and I am the new second grade teacher at Grace Education Academy. I received my ESE degree from St. Petersburg College and have been teaching for over 10 years and I absolutely love it! I have always known that teaching was my calling since I was a small child. I am the oldest of four and I would always play school with mysiblings. And if they didn’t want to play, I would line up my stuff animals.
I have three wonderful children and an amazing husband. I have two boys that will also be joining Grace this school year. They are in the ninth and eleventh grade. My daughter will be joining the Grace team as well as a teacher assistant. My husband and I couldn’t be more proud of our children.
I moved into doing special education once I realized that my children and my nephew all had their own special needs. Ranging from autism to health. They all have different care and educational needs then that of an atypical child. I home schooled my children for a while to make sure that they were getting the proper education that met their needs.
I also have several certifications in the health field. However, with teaching being my calling I couldn’t find a work place to call home.
I look forward to this new chapter that God has blessed me and my family with and I cannot wait to see all of your smiling faces.

My name is Michelle Root, and everyone calls me. Ms. Michelle. I
was born and raised in Illinois. I moved to Florida 6 years ago. I
have been married to an amazing man, Mathew (a scuba instructor)
for almost five years. We live in Spring Hill with my son Chris, our
dog Nova and our kitten, Luna. I have two other children, Amy and
her husband Tobi still live in Illinois, and my youngest son Eric and
his wife Victoria recently relocated to Florida (Holiday) and are
expecting their first child (my first grandchild) in August. I volunteer
at the Humane Society of Pasco County and Stagewest Community
Theater.
I have been a part of education for over 20 years. I have been a
principal's secretary, a preschool teacher, a 1-on1 paraprofessional, a
teachers aide, an adjunct college professor and a middle and high
school teacher. I also have extensive medical background and
earned both my CNA and X-Ray license. I am blessed and grateful
to continue teaching as a part of Grace Education Academy. I love
history and theater, and I am truly excited to bring these subjects to
life for our students
My name is Tiffany Middleton, and I am third year teacher at Grace Education Academy. I have been
happily married for 10 years with five children, three of which attend Grace Education Academy. Two of
my children have been diagnosed with different disabilities which has allowed me to learn more and
deviate from traditional teaching methods to some that are more effective and enjoyable for everyone.
Currently, I am attending Grand Canyon University to complete my degree in Childhood Education with
an emphasis in STEM. I am so excited to be teaching science this year to secondary students. My favorite
science subjects are Biology and Anatomy and Physiology. I absolutely love the life that God has created
and the study of it amazes me. Before becoming a teacher at Grace Education Academy, I was a long-
term substitute teacher at West Hernando Middle School. This changed my career choice from the
medical field to Education and I have been blessed since I made the change. I hope that I am able to
empower students to be the best that they can be as an individual and through Christ.
My name is Priscilla Hall. I am married with two beautiful daughters in college. We are a strong Christian family that centers our lives around the teachings of Christ and following the word of God.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology/ Pre-Med from the University of Central Florida in 1998. I had dreams of becoming an MD in Pediatric Psychiatric Research. I didn’t realize at the time that my dream would be costly. Upon this realization, I changed my field and went back to school for Perioperative Nursing at National University in Indianapolis, IN. I stayed in the medical field for many years working in ambulatory surgical centers and ophthalmic offices. After living in very cold Indiana for many years, I returned home to Florida with my family in tow. I took a job working for Lake County Schools as a long-term substitute teacher in a Special Needs Unit. I finally got to put my original degree to good use. I fell in love with teaching. I had the most amazing students! My contract with Lake County Schools ended. My family and I decided that we wanted a farm so we moved to Pasco County, where we have a small family farm. I signed a teaching contract with Pasco County to teach a self-contained special needs class at Hudson High School. I also returned to school (my alma mater) The University of Central Florida, earning my Master’s in Higher Needs Education with a focus on Learning Strategies and Curriculum design. I am currently in pursuit of my Doctorate in Higher Needs Education. I am also the Founder and Director of The Blue Bulb Foundation. BBF is a nonprofit organization that continues educational services through the summer months for special needs students that require a more rigorous educational schedule. I believe that all children should have every opportunity to succeed.
Due to my strong faith and fortified belief in teaching our future with a Christian sense, I left public education and decided to teach in the private sector. I am very blessed to have been offered a teaching position at Grace Education Academy. Having the freedom to teach a Christ-centered curriculum and being able to be open about my faith is truly a blessing in life.
Gracias Jesus Christo
