      Renee Crouse

    My name is Renee Crouse and this is my 11th year at VCE.  I’m thrilled to be teaching 4th grade!  I received my bachelors in education from Auburn University and my masters from Lesley University.  This is my 20th year teaching and I have had the privilege of teaching Kindergarten and 5th grade before 4th.  I live locally with my husband, our two children, and our dog.  I love sports, Fall weather, games and puzzles. I look forward to an amazing year!
