Hi, my name is Christine Lupinski and I am the middle school P.E. Coach, Computer teacher, and Lunch Coordinator!

After graduating from Morningside Academy back in 2001, I went to IRCC and then FAU where I got my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I taught kindergarten for 4 years with the St. Lucie County public school system, before deciding to be a stay-at-home mom. My husband Justin and I have 3 beautiful children. Rylee is in 6^th grade, Carter is in 4^th grade, and Hudson is almost 3. I homeschooled my kids up until the summer of 2020, when we felt led to send them to Morningside. My 2 older kids love it here, and my youngest goes to Ark Academy for preschool. I’m sure he will join us here in a few years.

In November of 2020, I saw that Morningside Academy was hiring a lunch coordinator/office aide and I applied immediately. I knew I wanted to be where my kids go to school, and wanted to get my foot in the door. Now this year I am teaching too. I never thought I would be teaching at a middle/high school, since I previously taught kindergarten, but I am so happy that God called me to be here, and I know it’s right where I’m supposed to be. Even though I had little experience with teenagers, I trusted God’s direction for my life and Philippians 4:13 “I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Things I love: spending time with my family, decorating and organizing, going out to eat, going shopping (Hobby Lobby is my favorite), and vacationing in the mountains.
