Hello! My name is Mrs. Houpe (pronounced like house, except a p instead of an s).  I received my bachelors of science in education at Asbury University and I received my masters in curriculum and instruction from Wright State.  I have been teaching for 26 years.  I taught first grade in Lexington, KY for 2 years.  For 5 years I taught library at Whitewater, Crosby, and Miamitown.  For 19 years I taught first grade at Whitewater Valley and Miami Whitewater.  This will be my first year teaching first grade at Crosby Elementary. I've been married for 24 years and we have a 19 year old son who is a sophmore at UC.  We live in Harrison.
