Kelly Crostley
Hi first grade! My name is Kelly Crotsley, and I have been teaching for 24 years. I am so excited for my first year at New Prospect this year! I received my Bachelor’s in Middle Grades Education from the University of Georgia. Go DAWGS! My husband works at River Trail Middle School, and we have 2 teenage boys, a junior in high school and an eighth grader. They keep us busy with their sports activities! When we’re not watching football, hockey, or lacrosse games, we spend a lot of our time at the lake. We also have several pets at home including a dog, a cat, and a turtle. I am looking forward to an amazing year!
Tori Lee
Hi there! We are so glad you are here! My name is Tori Lee. This is my eighth year teaching and fourth year at NPES. I am originally from Peachtree City, Ga but received both my Bachelors and Masters Degrees from the University of West Georgia. Go wolves! My husband, Harrison and I were married in April of 2022 and are thoroughly enjoying newlywed life. In our spare time we love to travel, exercise and spend time with family and friends. We just recently expanded our family and added a sweet puppy named Mary Beth! I am so excited for this school year and look forwarding to meeting you! It is going to be a GREAT one!

My husband and I got married in 2010 and have since added two beautiful daughters to our family. They both attend NPE!
