Welcome to first grade! My name is Celeste West, and I love being a part of the Saraland Early Education Center’s first grade team! More importantly, I am THRILLED to be your child’s teacher. It’s going to be a year full of excitement, learning, and new adventures. I cannot wait to see what this year has in store for us!

This will be my sixth year teaching and my fifth year teaching first grade at the SEEC. I taught second grade with the Jefferson County School System in Birmingham, AL before moving down here!

My husband is also a teacher for Saraland City Schools. He will be teaching physical science, as well as coaching football and baseball, at the high school this year. We both love being a part of the Spartan family! We have two little boys, Walker and Luke, as well as a beagle named Rudy.

I am very positive, love to laugh, and have a very tender heart. I cannot wait to love on your children all year, excite them about learning, and teach them all that I possibly can. I promise to take care of them and hope to instill in them a love for learning and also a desire to show good character.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. It is so important to keep communication open between us, and I would love to talk to you whenever you feel the need! My email is cbwest@saralandboe.org. The best ways to contact me throughout the school year are by emailing or messaging me directly through the Remind app. I look forward to a great year together!
