Boyle said, “I rise today to honor Celeste Cline who recently retired after 52 years of teaching. Ms. Celeste taught at my alma mater, St. Helena-Incarnation Catholic School in the Olney neighborhood of Philadelphia. She has impacted thousands of families – and mentored dozens of new teachers throughout her years in the classroom. In recent years she began teaching children of some of her former students. Over the course of five decades, she has taught every grade from kindergarten to eighth grade. Being the husband of a schoolteacher, I know that is no small feat. Ms. Cline is an exceptional teacher — and a shining example of the importance of teachers to our nation. They are not just tasked with teaching — but creating inclusive environments that foster personal and academic growth. Ms. Cline accomplished that — and so much more. Her legacy will live on at St. Helena-Incarnation Catholic School. Congratulations Ms. Cline and I wish you all the best in this next chapter of your life.” ••
