Riverside High School is a public high school in Greer, South Carolina.
History
The school opened in the fall of 1973 with 650 students on a campus.
In Fall 2006, students began attending a brand new building on the same premises. As an official green building, it is one of the most energy efficient and environmentally-friendly high schools in the nation.
The school has had four principals: John Durr, Wayne Rhodes, Charles Bayne, and, currently, Andrew Crowley.
In the 2008-2009 school year, Senior Alex Waelde led a campaign to raise $10,000 to send art teacher Pat Grills to Europe to see the art that he had never seen before but had taught his students about. This effort united other schools in the community as well as bringing back many RHS Alumni to contribute. On Monday, April 27 the check was presented much to the surprise of Mr. Grills at the annual art show.
