Staff & Leadership
At Crestwood Academy, we believe exceptional schools are built by exceptional people. Our leadership team brings together expertise in education, student development, administration, health and wellness, operations, technology, and community leadership.
As a small, relationship-centered school, we intentionally maintain a close-knit team that allows us to know our students personally, support families effectively, and create a structured learning environment where every child is encouraged to grow academically, socially, and personally.
All Crestwood Academy team members successfully complete background screenings and maintain current CPR and First Aid certification requirements as part of our commitment to student safety and well-being.
