Welcome to the 2026-2027 academic year! 

My name is Jerod Crowley, and I work as a social studies teacher.  I have been teaching at Ridgefield HS since 2022, and I am proud to wear the blue and orange. This year I will be teaching Contemporary World Issues (CWI) and AP U.S. History. 

Before coming to Ridgefield, I worked in the Evergreen, Vancouver, Gresham-Barlow, and Central Valley (Spokane, WA) School Districts. While in these districts, I worked as a social studies/history and special education teacher. 

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I am an assistant baseball coach at RHS. 

Originally from Spokane, WA, I graduated from Eastern Washington University ('03) with a bachelor's degree in secondary education and history. I have also earned a master's degree in special education from Washington State University ('16). Go Eags and Cougs! 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family/friends, especially my wife and son, traveling, attending concerts, camping, and watching sports, particularly New York Mets baseball and Chicago Bears football.
