Finals are an opportunity to demonstrate your growth, hard work, and perseverance throughout the year. To our families, thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and partnership in helping our scholars succeed. Wildcats, every class, every assignment, and every exam matters, let’s finish strong together and end the school year with pride!


I can promise you the best of myself for your students each and every day. Please do not hesitate to contact me at shenderson2@sbcsc.k12.in.us if you have any questions or concerns during the year.


Our Goals:

1) Educate the Whole Student

2) Building Meaningful Relationships

4) A 90% graduation rate


We greatly appreciate the value that each and every one of our scholars and families brings to Riley. WE ARE THE PRIDE OF THE SOUTHSIDE! WE ARE #RILEYSTRONG!

RHS Advanced Ceramics classes collaborated with our Human Services CTE RHS Advanced Ceramics classes collaborated with our Human Services CTE

The Human Services CTE students worked with the 2nd graders to help sketch and develop their creative monster ideas, and the ceramics students transformed those drawings into unique 3D artworks. We delivered the finished creations this week, and the students were thrilled to see their monsters come to life.
