It was known then as \u201cMilwaukee High School\u201d and was later called \u201cEast Division High School\u201d, \u201cRiverside High School\u201d and finally \u201cRiverside University High School\u201d. Throughout its nearly 150 year history, our school has been providing young people with a high quality academic program along with a variety of extracurricular, school service and community service activities that spark their interests, capture their imagination and set them on the path to enduring success. At Riverside, students develop leadership and teamwork skills, they gain an appreciation for life-ling learning and they become well-rounded members of our community.\r\n\r\nRiverside\u2019s alumni and friends understand that maintaining academic excellence takes <strong>hard work and financial resources<\/strong>.
