Ms. Imani Boyce
Hello! My name is Imani Boyce, and I’m so excited to be teaching second grade at Tarpon Springs Fundamental this year! This marks my ninth year with Pinellas County Schools, and I continue to find great joy in watching students grow and deepen their love for learning.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from St. Petersburg College and hold endorsements in ESOL, Reading, and Micro-Gifted education. As a teacher, my mission is to create a safe, supportive, and engaging classroom where students feel empowered to grow into lifelong learners and responsible members of their community.
I am a proud Florida native and currently live in Trinity with my two French Bulldogs, Winston and Oliver, and my sweet cat, Emmie. Outside of school, I love spending time along Florida’s beautiful coast, hiking with my pups, traveling, baking, and tending to my garden. I’m looking forward to a fantastic school year and can’t wait to get to know all of you!

Mr. Robert Ferguson
Hello there! My name is Rob Ferguson and I’m delighted to be teaching 2nd grade at Tarpon Springs Fundamental Elementary School. I graduated from the University of South Florida with a bachelor’s degree in English, minor in education. I now have my Literacy Micro-Credential, ESOL, Civics, and Reading Endorsements, as well as a Gifted Micro-Credential. This will be my 8th year teaching with Pinellas County Schools, and my 5th year teaching at TSFES.
I am a Florida native—born and raised in St. Petersburg. I’m a proud father of three delightful children: an 8-year-old son, a 5-year-old daughter, and little baby boy. I love spending time with my wife and children, being outdoors, staying active, working with computers, trying new things, watching movies, and gardening. We have a dog named Daxter and 4 hens. Finally... Let’s go Bucs!
I am passionate about working with kids and leading them discover new things about the world around them. I’m eager to collaborate with parents and families as we embark on this exciting new school year. It is my mission to help enrich all students to become self-reliant, confident, effective communicators, critical thinkers, and problem-solvers to best prepare them for 3rd grade and beyond!

Mrs. Emily Wright
Hi! I’m Emily Wright, and I am thrilled to be teaching 2nd grade this year at Tarpon Fundamental! This will be my seventh year teaching in Pinellas County. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from the University of South Florida with an endorsement in Reading and ESOL.
My husband and I currently live in Clearwater with our son and German Shephard, Zeke. We are big football fans, and love to be outside when it’s not sweltering! I spend most of my time either reading a new book, spending hours in the kitchen making something new, or outside chasing my six almost seven year old!
I have wanted to be a teacher ever since I left the second grade, so this is my dream job! I truly believe in giving students an environment where they feel loved, heard, and safe. My hope is to give my students the confidence, and tools they need to be successful.
