From school pranks to Plato, from yearbook to the gym, It Happened in School takes the reader on an entertaining and enlightening journey through the uniquely American institution, the public high school.

After teaching English and journalism, and coaching for more than thirty-five years, author Bob Crosby has seen it all--and enjoyed most of it. With a keen eye for detail, and a sharp ear for language, Crosby has crafted fifty stories from the fun side of high school life. Readers will enjoy learning about Crosby's experiences almost as much as he enjoyed writing them. Anyone who has ever experienced high school, and that includes most of us, will appreciate the resounding truth and uplifting joy that Crosby captures on this page. Pink tennis shoes, jellyfish, and Bacigalupis--look for them all in this delightfully upbeat collection of stories, It Happened in School.

Review:

Bob Crosby took me back to my (and everyone's) deliciously goofy days in the public school classroom. Trembling, I held these pages with joy and terror; you will, too, reader. --Dr. David Kirby, Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor of English, Florida State University

Bob Crosby . . . rekindles memories of kids, both present and past, who made our jobs such a challenge and joy. Teachers, parents, and students can all identify with the real-life characters and events described in this book. Every person who ever sat through a high school English class will finish the book wishing Mr. Crosby had been their teacher, despite the high jinks and hilarity. --William Kemp, principal, Northeast High School, 1995-2007
