JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- Educators and school staff make a difference in students’ lives every day. For many students, having an educator who cares and goes that extra mile can be the difference in a successful education and graduation. We’ve all had someone in the school system who inspired us or helped in some way. That’s why WLAF and Eagle Tire Pros salute all of our hard-working educators with a weekly feature.
This week’s featured educator is Crystal Dopp. She is a teaching assistant at Jacksboro Elementary School (JES).
She was born and raised in Campbell County, Jacksboro, specifically and attended Jacksboro Elementary and Jacksboro Middle. Dopp is a graduate of Campbell County High School. She has been married to her husband, Josh, for 25 years; they have two children, Kassie and Matt Dopp.
“I love all things about Disney, and it is my favorite vacation spot. In my free time, I’m usually planning my next Disney trip,†Dopp said.
She has been a teacher’s assistant at JES for 15 years and said she loves her job and helping students and teachers both.
“I am currently a teacher’s assistant for the 5th grade teachers at JES. I decided to be an assistant, because I was driven to help students succeed and to help teachers. I love being an assistant because I can work with children every day and watch them grow. “
Every Thursday, WLAF’s Charlotte Underwood features the WLAF – Eagle Tire Pros educator of the week. That educator also receives a free oil change from Eagle Tire Pros.
