Dear Riley Parents, Guardians, and Scholars,


We are only a few weeks away from welcoming you back to another electrifying school year! I am so excited to see you all again and kick off a year full of learning, growth, and success.


Let’s get ready to work hard academically, educationally, emotionally, and athletically. This year holds great potential, and I know we’re going to achieve amazing things together.

Let’s make it a great year, Wildcats!


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

3) A 95% attendance rate

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!


Sincerely,

Shawn Henderson

Over the Edge Over the Edge

I kindly ask for your support as I go "over the edge" for Youth Service Bureau. I will rappel down the side of the Robertson's building to show my support for youth that live on the edge of homelessness. I will be going head to head with Mr. Seitz, the principal of Adams High School. Let's beat Adams! Go Wildcats!

Help Principal Henderson defeat Adams, Principal Seitz for a great cause!
