Monica Crisp, Assistant Principal

Hello Highland Elementary families,
My name is Ms. Monica Crisp, and I’m honored to be a new Assistant Principal at Highland Elementary!
Joining this incredible school community is truly exciting for me. I’ve spent the past 15 years in education—first as a Middle School English Teacher and Debate Coach, then as an Instructional Coach, and most recently as a Literacy Specialist. Throughout every role, my passion has remained the same: helping students succeed and supporting the educators who guide them every day.
I absolutely love the vibrancy of the Titan Zone—the energy, the school spirit, and the deep sense of community that makes this place so special. I’m also proud to share that I am a Titan mother, which makes this role even more meaningful to me. As both an administrator and a parent, I’m deeply invested in the success and well-being of every student who walks our halls.
I believe in creating schools where every student feels seen, supported, and challenged to grow. I’m committed to fostering a learning environment that’s safe, inclusive, and inspiring for all.
