History

The school opened in the fall of 1973 with 650 students on a 65-acre (260,000 m2) campus. Riverside was named the 1998 Palmetto's Finest High School.

The school has had a total of five principals: John Durr, Wayne Rhodes, Charles "Bob" Bayne, Andrew "Andy" Crowley, and, currently, Darah Huffman.
