ACOVA HIGHLIGHTS
DECEMBER Administrator Highlight
Michelle Crary-Gilbert Public Schools
For the month of December, ACOVA is happy to highlight Michelle Crary from Gilbert Public Schools.
Nominated by, Jen Brooks from AZCTECC
Michelle is a thoughtful leader who has made a lasting impact on CTE initiatives and program development, not only within Gilbert Public Schools but across the state. Her innovation in data-driven strategies, and her ability to uplift teachers and students alike, through collaboration and as an adjunct professor of CTE, is remarkable.
Michelle generously shares her time and knowledge through presentations at state and national conferences. Her service on various committees, as a longstanding member of the board of the AZ CTE Curriculum Consortium, and her published research solidify her role as a thought leader in the CTE community.
Michelle is a perpetual learner, constantly seeking new knowledge and growth and she inspires those who know her through her her passion, commitment, and leadership.
Congratulations to Michelle Crary for being recognized as the ACOVA December Administrator Highlight!
