Hello! My name is Mr. Joel Boyer. I was born in Mason City but moved to Fort Madison before I was 2 years old. I grew up in Fort Madison and graduated High School there. I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Education from the University of Northern Iowa. I grew up wanting to be a teacher and I am currently doing my dream job. This will be my 8th year at IC but my first in the 5th and 6th grade level. I am excited to work with familiar faces as the 5th and 6th graders were my first two classes I had while teaching 1st grade. I live with my wife, son, and daughter in Waverly. My son, Kinnick (7), is in second grade and my daughter, Kenzie (5), is in Kindergarten this year. In our free time we enjoy fishing, golfing, playing games and watching the Hawkeyes and Cardinals.
