Why Us

Our Mission

Deliver quality academic and worldly experiences that will inspire a lifelong learner who is equipped to solve problems, think logically, independently, critically, and communicate effectively; one who understands our social, economic, and moral responsibilities to the future.

Competitive Extra Curricular Activities

Students have numerous opportunities to get involved and stay involved! Students can get involved in clubs, organizations, and the school to give back with volunteer hours. These hours will start accumulating freshman year. There are many opportunities to give back locally. High school is different from junior high. Study habits, extracurricular activities, and social activities will change. Ultimately, students will learn how to adapt and grow with life changes. Luckily, students will be supported by teachers, advisors, and the Seahawk family at Riviera ISD.
