The Academies at Rivercrest High School is excited to announce we have received grant funding for a new program of study! This school year we started a Supply Chain and Logistics Program of Study. This was in response to community partners who saw a need to build a program to expose students to the various career paths in this area, along with showing them the importance supply chains have on their daily lives. Rivercrest is uniquely located near the Mississippi River, interstates 55 and 40, and a major railway which all play a vital part in the supply chain for the companies in our area and all over the country. Students will learn how these major transportation routes impact global, national, and local supply chains and how the field of logistics is a critical area to keep our country moving forward.
