News and Notes
RHS Info Night
On Wednesday, November 13th at 6pm we will hold an Information Night for families interested in learning more about what we offer at Riverside High School. Whether you are looking to transfer at the end of Semester 1 or gathering information about your options for next year, our information night will be a great opportunity to hear about our IB program, CTE pathways, Athletics and Activities, and the inviting culture here at RHS. Please share with any families you know that have students in high school or 8th grade. Word of mouth and current student/family testimonials are the best!
