Parents and Guardians, 

In light of recent events at athletic venues across the country, Greenville County Schools has updated its safety requirements for athletic events, effective immediately.

For all Greenville County Schools athletic events, the following requirements are in place to ensure the safety of all attendees:

Middle school students and younger must be accompanied by an adult 19 years old or older to every athletic event

High school students must have a school-issued ID to enter an athletic event alone; otherwise, they must be accompanied by an adult 19 years old or older

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

As a reminder, there is a clear bag policy for GCS events.

In addition, Riverside High School does not allow any outside food or drink into the stadium.

Thank you for your cooperation and help to ensure the safety of all attendees.

    Where are our Carolina fans?? Clemson has taken a lead over Carolina in our Battle of the Bins donation drive for homeless veterans. With only this week left of collections, we need our Carolina fans to step up and close that gap! Does your student need last minute service hours for a society or club? Or want to get a headstart on next semester’s hours? PTSA will sign off on 1 service hour in exchange for $5 or $10 in donations, depending on the club or society. Monetary, furniture and household item donations can be dropped in the appropriate "bin” by 8:30am each morning in the T-Mall. We also accept Venmo and MySchoolBucks donations. Check out the RHS PTSA website for details on what items are needed.
