Wags of Wisdom with Crosby: “Seeing the Good Side”
This week’s spotlight celebrates our amazing assistant principals! Here I am with one of my favorite MTHS Assistant Principals. Their jobs aren’t always easy—they do a lot to keep our school running smoothly—but they’re also caring, kind, and love celebrating students who make good choices. When you do, you’ll get to see their best side—and maybe even share a few smiles (and sometimes a treat)!
