Rivercrest High School is here to help your 9th - 12th grade students prepare for the future! Our school offers a wide range of opportunities for students to excel in their academic and professional pursuits. One of the key benefits of attending Rivercrest is our focus on college and career readiness. We offer industry certifications, giving our students a competitive edge in the job market. In addition, our supplemental ACT prep helps students achieve their best possible scores, opening up more college options and scholarship opportunities. Another advantage of attending Rivercrest High School is our concurrent credit program, which allows students to earn college credits through Arkansas Northeastern College while still in high school. This can save students time and money, as they can complete college courses early and potentially graduate from college sooner. We are dedicated to helping our students achieve their goals and succeed in their chosen paths! Rivercrest School District is accepting applications for school choice through May 1, 2023.

Over the past three years Rivercrest HS and JH teachers have worked with Solution Tree to learn how to build PLCs (Professional Learning Communities). PLCs help us continue to grow our processes and practices to work to provide the best educational opportunities we can for our students.

April is Autism Awareness Month! Join us in celebrating minds of all kinds and showing support by wearing the color BLUE on Friday, April 28!

Attention Country Club Bus Riders: In order to ensure the timely arrival and dismissal of students and drivers at the country club, all students should be picked up before 4:15. Any student who is still on the parking lot after 4:15 will result in a warning. If they are late being picked up a second time they will lose bus privileges for one complete day (morning and afternoon). Each additional day late will result in an additional day off the bus. Thank you for your understanding in this matter!
