Judy Krutoy, Former English Teacher, Harry S. Truman High School

Mrs. Krutoy is the epitome of an excellent educator. I was always eager to attend her class. It was like walking into a theater. She was the director. We were the stars. Whether it was a caldron when we read Macbeth or a crucible when we read "The Crucible" she always used props to make learning fun. Mrs. Krutoy's love for her students and passion for teaching was always apparent. She never accepted mediocre from us and we dared not arrive late to her class. Now that I am an educator I aspire to be just like her. I feel quite privileged to have been a member of the last class she taught before retiring.
