The Crest Ridge R-VII School District is pleased to announce the hiring of Dr. Barie Krewson as our next Secondary Principal.
Dr. Krewson, a resident of the Crest Ridge community, attended Crest Ridge schools and graduated from Crest Ridge High School in 2001.
Dr. Krewson graduated with her Bachelor of Science in English Education from Missouri State University in 2005. She later earned her Masters in Educational Leadership from William Woods University, her Specialist in Educational Leadership (Principalship) from Arkansas State University, and most recently was conferred with her Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Southwest Baptist University in 2025.
Dr. Krewson began her teaching career as an English Language Arts teacher in the Butler School District in 2006 and has spent 16 years teaching ELA in the Odessa School District.
Dr. Krewson states, "Crest Ridge is my home. It is the community where I have spent nearly my entire life—learning, growing, serving, and building relationships. Having my own children enrolled in the district speaks to my trust and faith in the school leaders and teachers who provide them with a meaningful education each day."
Dr. Krewson is married to Paul Krewson and they have two sons who attend Crest Ridge. Brock is a junior at Crest Ridge High School and Max is a fifth grader at Crest Ridge Elementary!
The district is excited to have Dr. Krewson join our team, continue our culture of excellence, and lead our secondary students and staff to success.
Dr. Krewson will begin her new role in July 2026!
Also, next week CRE will be celebrating Dr. Seuss with a spirit week!
Keep selling your chocolate bars. The last day is March 5th!

✨ Crest Ridge Senior Spotlight ✨
Student: Jon Becwar
Jon’s favorite high school memory is going to the Kansas City Farm Show during his junior year.
During his time at Crest Ridge, he has been involved in FFA.
He shares that Ms. Savage really made an impact on him, especially because he enjoyed her ELA classes.
His advice to younger Cougars is that even if you don’t plan on going to college, you should still work hard and keep your grades up—you never know what you’ll want in 4 years.
After graduation, John plans to enter the workforce and begin building his future.
Looking ahead 10 years, he sees himself living a quiet life somewhere out in the country.
A fun fact about John is that he can bench press 400 pounds, but only when you're not looking.
His favorite quote to live by is: “I’m here for a good time, not a long time.”
Early this winter, members also delivered pop tabs to the Ronald McDonald House in Kansas City. These pop tabs help fund programs and services for families with critically ill or injured children.
