Riverside Community School District

Mr. Johannsen has been there for both of Tavens breaks at school. He sat and held this broken leg for 45 minutes while they waited for me to get to school and the ambulance crew to get him loaded up and to the hospital. He just has always been in the right place to help take care of Taven. He has also been a great influence on Taven. One of the pictures of them is after a rough day wrestling for Taven sometimes saying nothing at all just being there is the best coaching. The Moore family definitely appreciates all he has done for our kids.

Kick Off to College Night

I have know Mr. Crum since he did his student teaching here at Riverside. I got to know him more at the elementary while he was one of the third grade teachers. Since becoming a principal, he still has a great love of teaching, learning, and the students love seeing him in the halls and classrooms. He is a down to earth, easy to talk to, and gets along with everyone. The students look up to him as well. Thank you for helping us through your first few years as a principal, keep up the great work!!!

I really appreciate how you attempt to (and often do!) make it to both Large Group and Individual Speech competitions! I have spoken to many other coaches who are shocked when they learn that I have an administration that comes to competition. It really shows me, and the students, that you care about ALL activities at Riverside.

There will be no zero hour weights tomorrow morning. (Wednesday- 10/18) #WeRRiverside

Mr. Johannsen always pushes staff and students to be their best at all times. He truly is a person that is demonstrating all the qualities we look for in our students every single day. I would like to thank him for stepping up and taking care of things, even when it isn't his job to. This has led others to have the same attitude and our building is in a much better place because he's here.

REMINDER: Wednesday, October 18, is an early dismissal day. ⏰ #WeRRiverside
