At Riverwalk’s graduation, a new tradition unfolds as the secret identity of the student behind the beloved mascot, Rivers, is finally revealed. This emotional and symbolic moment marks the end of their time as the spirited face of the school, celebrating their dedication and anonymity. As they cross the stage, cheers and applause erupt, honoring their unique contribution to campus life.

Looking for a way to show off your school pride? We have stickers available for purchase on the school store for $5.00.

Athletic fees can be paid in the school store. These must be paid before your student competes in an athletic competition. Fees are used to help offset all costs associated with running an athletic program (League dues, uniforms, official costs, transportation, rental fees, etc.). Please reach out to Mr. Ball if you have any questions or need assistance.
