Student Spotlight
Will was a standout student in his APUSH classes last year, earning him the moniker "the Lebron James of APUSH." He is actively engaged in the Riverdale Honors College, DECA, and National Honors Society, and he received a nomination for the RHS Homecoming Court. Additionally, he is a member of both the baseball and golf teams. Will is described as a compassionate, industrious, committed individual who exudes humility and serves as a source of inspiration and motivation to his peers. He will be missed after graduation. Thank you for being an inspiration for others at RHS.

D&D Club
Did you catch the D&D bug thanks to Stranger Things, but struggled to find a group to join? Perhaps you were already familiar but faced the same issue - getting people together regularly can be challenging. Maybe you're totally new to Dungeons and Dragons and just need the right opportunity to give it a try!
Exciting news for all of you – Mrs. Riddle is planning to kick off an afterschool D&D club. If you're interested, please fill out the linked form. Completing the survey does not commit you to sign up; it simply helps us gather information to gauge potential interest. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to see Mrs. Riddle in classroom D2. With enough responses, we can progress to the next steps and start scheduling official meetings.
