Missy Crowe- Primary Coach
Welcome to our Coach’s Corner. My name is Melissa Crowe and I am so excited to be able to introduce myself as the new Primary Instructional Coach for Eastview, Grandview and Maplewood Elementary schools. I am a graduate of Connersville High School. I received my Bachelor degree from Indiana University East and my Master’s degree from Olivet Nazarene University. I have been teaching for 14 years, 9 of which have been here in Fayette County. I started my teaching career at Northeastern Elementary school in Fountain City in first grade then moved to 3rd grade. I taught a year in 4th grade in Cambridge City at Western Wayne Elementary. Finally, I made it back home to teach at Eastview, first in 4th grade then 2nd grade. I have a wonderful husband, Jim Crowe, who is a firefighter for CFD and together we have 4 sons, Jordan, who is 26 and lives in Aura, Illinois, Tyler, who is 24 and lives in Chattanooga, TN, Cole, who is 21 and a senior at Ball State University, and lastly, Griffin, who is 16 and a sophomore at CHS. Boy do I feel old after typing those ages. I look forward to working with many wonderful teachers, administrators, and support staff in this new role as Instructional Coach.
