Winter Wonder Week - Riverside High School's Student Council will again sponsor the school's Winter Wonder Week during the week of December 4. Please see the attached graphic for all information. 

    Battle of the Bins - In celebration of Veteran’s Day, Riverside High School is kicking-off its 2nd Annual Battle of the Bins Donation Drive to benefit homeless veterans in our community. The non-profit Veterans Are Heroes is in need of new and gently used household items and furniture, as well as monetary donations, to help turn transitional housing for struggling vets into furnished homes. Just like the upcoming rival football game, you choose your favorite team to support when making your donation - Clemson or Carolina. We will announce the "winning" team at our home basketball game on December 8. Donations can be dropped in the appropriate "bin" each morning in the T-Mall. Do students need service hours? PTSA has agreed to sign off on one (1) service hour in exchange for $5 in monetary or item donations for participating clubs and societies. Stop by the table in the T-Mall or visit www.rhsptsa.com/vet-day-drive for more information.

No loitering in any area; all fans need to sit in the home or visitor stands during the event

Not following any of the rules outlined above will result in removal from the event without a refund
