Dorsey Crane

I attended St. Peter Prince of Apostles school from K5 to 8^th grade, graduated from IWHS and I have a BS in Special Ed/Elem Ed from Texas State University.

I have worked at St. Peter's for six years.  My two sons are Marc in 4^th grade and Eastland in 7^th grade and they attend St. Peter's School. My husband Michael Crane works for Metropolitan Hospital in refrigeration and is active in the Cub and Boy Scouts program.

My best memory of St. Peter’s as a child is that everyone was treated as family which has not changed for my sons.  It takes a village to raise a child.  That village is St. Peter’s school and church.  The biggest pleasure that I have received by working at St. Peter’s is teaching previous SPS graduates children.  I strive to keep the small town family feeling in my classroom but diversify my curriculum for every type of learner.  Whether your child is an auditory, kinesthetic, or visual learner, I will attempt to work with their needs.

My goal is to:

• Create life-long learners with independent learning skills.
• Foster Tiger Pride, school spirit in a faith based manner.
• Encourage the use of communication skills that promote understanding.
• Encourage community ownership in the school and its mission.
• Advocate positive and meaningful educational experiences for all students.
• Promote excellence in academics, the arts, athletics and life skills.
• Encourage the development of problem-solving skills.
• Encourage the development of students' technological competencies to better prepare them to meet the demands of a changing world.
• Strengthen and nurture the development of self-esteem and inner faith.
