Leslie Crawford - Instructional Coach
My name is Leslie Crawford, and I'm so excited for the great things to come this school year! While this is my fifth year at HMS, it will be my eleventh year teaching with experience in both ELA and social studies in grades 6-8. I'm excited to serve as one of the instructional coaches at HMS and work alongside the most dedicated and supportive staff.
I have an Education Specialist Degree in Instructional Technology from Kennesaw State University and a serious passion for learning, coffee, and young adult literature. I live in Valdosta with my husband, Jacob, and our son, Finley.
