Here at Crippen Elementary, we pride ourselves on being a No Excuses University school. As a NEU school, we believe that every student has the right to a quality education that adequately prepares them for life after high school. In order to do our best to create that type of quality instruction, each teacher practices the Six Exceptional Systems that are a part of NEU. Finally, as a staff, we are devoted to learning ourselves so that we can be the best prepared for our students. This is done through professional development and grade-level planning meetings. As a NEU school, we believe that "After High School, Comes College!"
