Congratulations To Our Newest National Board Certified Teachers
The following eight teachers have completed the requirements to receive certification through the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards:
- Liz Cronin, Pacific Crest Online Academy
- Adam Hancock, Hanford High School
- Debby Hazen, Leona Libby Middle School
- Wendi Hendricks, Richland High School
- Marta Jisa, Orchard Elementary
- Jessica Kroll, Lewis & Clark Elementary

National Board certification is a multi-year process that requires teachers to thoroughly examine their work in the classroom to ensure they are connecting with students and helping them succeed.
Only 3 percent of all teachers across the country are National Board Certified. About 100 RSD teachers, or roughly 12 percent, have earned the credential.
The Richland School Board will formally recognize the district’s newest National Board Certified Teachers at its March 22 regular meeting.
