Mr. Crocco

2024-25 is my 20th year of teaching and my 18th year teaching biology at John Jay High School.  My first year was middle school social studies in the Bronx.  My second year was at Daytop Preparatory School in Rhinebeck teaching a range of subjects from GED classes to ELA, math and science. I love my job.  I work hard and expect the same from my students. 

In addition to teaching, I have been the Junior Class Adviser for several years. I recently gave that up due to my daughter being born.  I also coach Varsity Softball.  This will be my fifth year coaching softball. The past four years we were Section 1 champions twice.  We were also league champs three times.  I am lucky enough to coach a group of hard working girls in one of the best softball communities in New York State.  I've also coached Junior Varsity Basketball and Modified Basketball at Van Wyck Junior High School.
