Sean Mason teaches Drawing at Crestwood High School, where he guides students of all levels through challenging projects that ask them to see themselves differently. His Self Portrait unit proved what happens when personal investment meets rigorous instruction: students produced work they were genuinely proud of. That blend of skill-building and authentic engagement is exactly what we celebrate across our district.

When Rachel Faber noticed students kept mixing up Cinco de Mayo with Mexican Independence Day, she didn't just repeat the lesson louder. She teamed up with fellow world language teachers to create a competition that brought the Battle of Puebla to life. Rachel's willingness to collaborate across departments transformed a common misconception into an annual tradition that gets students genuinely invested in cultural learning. This is the kind of innovative teaching that makes Crestwood special.

When Cayla Kolbusz took 18 Crestwood High School theatre students to Chicago this spring, she didn't just show them a performance. She created space for them to wrestle with big ideas, feel deeply, and talk about what they experienced with respect and curiosity. That's the kind of transformative learning experience we celebrate at Crestwood. Cayla's commitment to showing students that theatre is more than entertainment reflects exactly the kind of student engagement and belonging we're building across our district.
Don’t forget to “fall back!” Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 1. Before heading to bed Saturday night, remember to turn your clocks back one hour and enjoy that extra hour!
Carl Ray's Biology classroom is proof that when we give students real challenges, they rise to meet them. His multi-day simulation unit didn't just teach natural selection—it showed our 9th graders what it means to think critically, debate evidence, and collaborate authentically. This is the kind of teaching that defines Crestwood: rigorous, student-centered, and deeply connected to the real world.

When Jason Moitozo invited his AP Calculus students to design their own equation-based shapes and calculate the areas using integral calculus, something beautiful happened: math became a canvas. Jason, a teacher at Crestwood High School, showed us that rigor and creativity aren't opposing forces, they're partners in learning. His insight reminds us that when we trust students with creative ownership within challenging subjects, they rise to meet both the work and the moment.
