Team TUSD

Celeste Felix Medina, a dynamic fourth-grade teacher at Dietz K-8, is in her first year of teaching after two years as an aide. She brings a remarkable background and a deep passion for her students to the classroom. Celeste enthusiastically celebrates the vibrant diversity of her students, finding joy in helping them and maintaining strong communication with the community through engaging events.

Though born in Tucson, Celeste also brings a unique global perspective—having lived in California and worked in Mexico. She holds a master’s degree in business and even served as a project leader in retail, a fascinating fact about her past! Outside of teaching, she loves connecting with nature through hiking and cherishing time with her family.
