Hello, I am Ms. Crabtree!

I encourage students to uncover the hidden mysteries and rich themes of English literature and composition at Abraham Lincoln High School. I have enjoyed teaching English for 18 years, and I have also taught choir, AP Psychology, and AVID elective classes as well. My specialties are teaching 10th Graders, Seniors, and AP English classes, and telling silly jokes (yes, I laugh at my own jokes!).

I help Lincoln achieve academic and competitive glory by coaching the Academic Decathlon team- Go Tigers! I always feel impressed by our decathletes- we consistently place in the top 10 of the 65 teams competing in LAUSD's competition.

I also volunteer for LHS by accompanying the plays and musicals on piano, attending sports and MST Magnet social events, and serving as English Department Chair.

You are always welcome to drop by my room for advice (wanted AND unwanted), music, a pep talk, or just to chill. It's Room B3 (behind the 100 building, next to B4 and the 700 building). Also, you can email me if you have questions about homework or projects or performances- my email is [email protected]. Check out my "reading" blog at princessleiasgalaxy.blogspot.com.

Remember, the number one thing you can do to improve your grades, test scores, and college readiness, is to READ for 15 minutes every day!

Have a great year, Tigers!!!
