Recently, Dr. Crossley served as "Super Sub" at YMS in Mekicia Henry's 8th grade STAR Academy English class! Each semester, Dr. Crossley is the Superintendent Substitute (aka "Super Sub") for certified or classified staff at Hope Public Schools. He is given lesson plans, work orders, or other related information and takes over the position for half a day. The Super Sub program has been a hit with teachers, students, and staff!
