Rivercrest School District

Congratulations to our Rivercrest teachers who earned state merit pay - Morgan Barnes, Daniel Brewer, Brittany Stephens and Tammy Wood! This award recognizes those with the highest three-year average growth scores or those teaching in critical shortage areas with proven student growth. Your impact is measurable and powerful. Thank you for raising the bar for our students and our district! We also want to thank all of our teachers across the district who continue to show value added student growth each year. This recognition is based on the 2023-2024 ATLAS summative growth scores.

Both Rivercrest Elementary and Rivercrest High School proudly dedicated $7,500 each from their PEER Growth Funds, which were earned through students’ academic growth on state assessments.
