Hello, everyone! My name is Samantha Crouch and I am so excited to be your child's music teacher at Pine Grove Elementary. This Is my 11th year of teaching, but my 1st year teaching music.
I earned my bachelor's degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University and am certified in both elementary education and music education. While in college, I studied clarinet and enjoyed performing in band and orchestra. Over the last 10 years, I've had the opportunity to teach 1st-5th grade in both public and private schools and have worked with a diverse background of students. Although I have absolutely loved my time in the general-education classroom, I now feel called back to my first passion, music.
My family and I relocated from South Florida in the spring of 2020 and have called Valdosta our home ever since. I have the honor to be married to my incredible husband, Brian, aka Mr. Crouch. He is an upper school Spanish teacher at Valwood. I also have the privilege of being a mommy to Emory (6), Meredith (4) and Addison (2).
I am excited to be joining the PGE family and cannot wait to make music together!
