"This year marks my 11th year at Crooked Oak, a milestone that fills me with gratitude and pride. Crooked Oak is more than just a place of work—it is a community that truly feels like home. The students, families, and staff are exceptional, and their dedication, kindness, and support create an environment I am proud to be part of each day.
Being part of this community has shaped me both professionally and personally in meaningful ways. I am thankful for the encouragement, collaboration, and shared commitment to student success that I experience here. One of the greatest joys of my work is watching former students grow throughout their school years and eventually graduate as confident, capable adults. Seeing their progress and celebrating their successes never gets old.
Crooked Oak has had a lasting impact on my life, and I am incredibly grateful for the relationships, experiences, and memories built over the years. I cannot imagine a better place to show up each day, and I am honored to continue serving a community that means so much to me."

We know you invest your hearts and long hours into our students, and we want you to know that your professional dedication and hard work do not go unnoticed. We deeply appreciate all that you do.
To Our Students:
To our students, thank you for coming to school prepared, bringing your energy, and demonstrating a commitment to learning. You are the future of our community. We hope you are enjoying a well deserved break today, resting and spending meaningful time with your families. We are immensely proud of your efforts this semester!
To Our Families and Community Partners:
To our parents, grandparents, guardians, and all our community partners, thank you for the essential role you play in your child’s education.
