About
Nick Paukstelis’ Biography
I was born and raised in Durham and I attended East Carolina University studying English and Business Administration. I have two Flying Lions of my own. My son is in first grade and my daughter is in kindergarten. I am a huge advocate for literacy and sell children’s books in my spare time. I enjoy gardening, water sports, music and performing arts, horseback riding, cooking and reading. You can usually find me acting as a taxi for my active children, as a dance mom, working within my church, completing fun projects with my husband, on fun outings with my extended family or just on the couch with popcorn watching a movie with family. I also enjoy being active on the PTF Board and really value that Excelsior is like a community. I feel blessed that my children are part of the ECA family and I value the relationships I have made with the wonderful staff, students and families at ECA!
