CELINE GOMEZ
Aloha From Ms. Celine Gomez! Welcome to the Second Annual Hawai‘i Advanced Placement® Summer Institute (APSI). My name is Ms. Celine Gomez, and I have been teaching 11th and 12th grade AP English Literature and Composition since 1999 in Plano, Texas Independent School District. Since 2005, I have been an AP national grader where I have served as a table leader, section leader for table leaders and I have served on the sample selection committee for the College Board.
Since 2020, I have also served as a distributed and then on-site Question Leader; last summer, I served as an Exam Leader. I have been an endorsed consultant for the College Board since 2007. I have been an AP English Literature and Composition mentor since the program started, collaborating with teachers across the U.S. to enhance instruction and support student success. Additionally, I serve as an AP English Literature consultant for various district trainings, including teacher workshops, mock readings, and student study sessions. I also work with Applied Practice, where I help with online scoring of mock exams and teacher webinars, and I coach for NMSI, conducting teacher trainings and student sessions. I’ve also partnered with Massachusetts Insight for teacher trainings. I'm really excited to work with you in supporting the Hawai‘i APSI this summer!" Celine embraces the Aloha Spirit - compassion and kindness to all with whom we cross paths in our everyday lives. Mahalo, Celine
