Hello! My name is Gary Crocker and I am the School Counselor at Sanchez Elementary. I started working in Santa Maria Bonita School District in 2002. I have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. I started teaching at Sanchez the first year it opened, which was in 2005. Now I have the honor to be the first ever school counselor at Sanchez Elementary.
I love working at Sanchez Elementary. This is a special place with amazing teachers, staff, parents, and students. I teach lessons that focus on Social Emotional Learning, Academics, and College and Career Readiness. I also help students individually or in small groups. I want all of our Sanchez Lions to be happy, confident, and successful!
We rise by lifting others.
