Warrior weather club the first in Tennessee

Riverdale High School’s Warrior WX club the first in the State of Tennessee to be an official Pre-College Chapter of the American Meteorological Society

March 26, 2026

By CORY ANN MICHEL
Rutherford County Schools

Since December 2024, Riverdale algebra II and statistics teacher, Justin McClain, has led Warrior WX Club, which seeks to educate and involve students in the science of weather and meteorology.

By immersing students in a variety of activities, opportunities and organizations, the club not only provides students with a space to learn about meteorology, but it also encourages them in the importance of weather safety and preparedness.

McClain describes having a passion and interest in meteorology since he was a child.

Spending much of his free time watching The Weather Channel, he was deeply intrigued by forecasts and radar imagery. In 2023, he earned his teacher certification with the American Meteorological Society. Once completed, he spearheaded Riverdale opening its chapter of AMS.

“The students love our club,” McClain said. “We have lots of fun learning and growing.”

Hello RCS parents and employees, 

This is James Evans with Rutherford County Schools. We have an important announcement about school because of the winter weather. 

All Rutherford County schools will be closed Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 26-27, because of the snow, the expected ice, the extremely low temperatures and negative double-digit windchill that are forecast. The RCS Central Office will be closed at least on Monday. We will make a decision about the Central Office’s Tuesday schedule, on Monday. Custodians and maintenance will follow the same schedule as Central Office but should be on standby if needed, just like the other essential district workers. 

To repeat, all Rutherford County schools will be closed for students and employees on Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 26-27. The Central Office is closed Monday. 

We hope everyone enjoys the snow but please be safe.

Rutherford County Schools was well represented at the Oct. 27–30 Statewide Special Education & Student Support Access Conference in Chattanooga, where eight presenters highlighted ESL best practices. Presenters included district ESL coaches Emily Davis, Terah Pring, Dr. Meghan Vigil, and Lauren Crutchfield; Dr. Christine Tennyson, Andrew Raney, and Candice Walls from Riverdale High; and Sweety Anand from Smyrna Middle. The conference—hosted by CLEE in partnership with the Tennessee Department of Education—brought together educators statewide to explore evidence-based practices spanning English learners, special education, RTI², and intervention strategies.
