Thank you to our basketball sponsors for the 2023-24 basketball season. These businesses and individuals are featured on our new sponsorship board in the gym at Riverside High School. These sponsors, along with Decatur County Bank purchasing our scoreboard sponsorship, have helped our basketball program tremendously this season.
Thank you for your support!

Due to rising sickness, school will be closed Monday and Tuesday 12/18-12/19. On Friday, 12/14, schools will finish testing and have Christmas parties and activities. We hope this allows everyone to get well in time for Christmas!

Students can bring a parent note to have permission to leave early. The parent notes must be signed by a parent/guardian and have a phone number to call so we can verify the note.
Today at RHS, we held a scavenger hunt for our teachers and staff. There were 3 $25 gift cards hidden in the school. The winners were Ms. Rita, Coach Whitwell, and Mr. Tate (we did not get a picture). Coach Quinn was right there to cheer on the winners. Maybe we can get Coach Quinn and Mr. Tate in one tomorrow (LOL).
And how can you miss a chance to take a picture with someone wearing the same sweatshirt? Thanks, Cadie Beth! Mr. Jay was there also!
