Miss Crowley was an excellent an innovative teacher, always dedicated. When I had her back in the late 1950s, she started a program to teach Spanish to eighth grade students, something unheard of at the time. For me this began a life long interest in foreign languages and countries. May she rest in peace.

Ms. Crowley was also my 7th and 8th grade teacher at Mark Hopkins school. An outstanding teacher and one who mastered classroom management, she made her students love history and respect it. Her dedication to the field of teacher was evident every day in her lessons. We were blessed to be in her class whether we knew it at the time. As an adult she inspired me in my career and I found her to be a lovely lady. Sad to hear of her passing.

Miss Crowley was a bit terrifying to me back in 7th and 8th grade. Her daily quizzes in US History were legendary. Everyone knew not to fool around in her classroom. I got to know her as an adult and found her to be a lovely woman. RIP Miss Crowley.

Miss Crowley was one of my favorite but tough teachers. I was a bit afraid of her but learned a lot from her. May she Rest In Peace!

Was my 7th grade homeroom and history teacher. Was a real pain in her side more often then not, but she was very fair and a great teacher.
