We want to extend a huge thank you to the Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) College of Engineering for hosting our students at Javelina Engineering Open House!
Our students had an incredible opportunity to explore the diverse programs available through immersive experiences and interactive sessions with student-led projects. The hands-on exposure provided invaluable insights into the world of engineering and the exciting paths our students can pursue.
Days like this remind us what can happen when institutions come together for student success! We are incredibly proud of our students for their curiosity and engagement, and we are grateful to the faculty, staff, and student organizations at TAMUK for such a meaningful and motivating experience.

✨ Animal Science Students Take Career Day to the Next Level! ✨
Our Animal Science students had an incredible opportunity this week at the Texas A&M VSCP Food Animal Medicine Career Day Camp!
We started the day at Las Palmas Veterinary Clinic in Falfurrias with Dr. Vickers, where students witnessed real-world procedures including artificially inseminating heifers and collecting semen samples from bulls—an unforgettable hands-on look at large-animal reproduction management.
Next, we traveled to El Coyote Ranch on La Paloma, where students learned how a working Longhorn cattle operation functions. They worked alongside Dr. Wilkinson as he sonogrammed bred heifers, palpated, and collected semen samples, giving them a rare chance to see veterinary medicine in action.
Students were treated to a delicious meal courtesy of El Coyote Ranch and wrapped up the day hearing from proud Riviera Alumni — Dr. Pancho Hubert, Ms. Della Serna, and Mr. Felix Serna, who shared their career journeys and advice.
We are so proud of our students for representing Riviera so well and grateful to everyone who helped make this experience possible!

Riviera ISD students had the great opportunity to visit Pattern’s Gulf Wind Windfarm on the Kenedy Memorial Foundation Ranch. Students learned how the windfarm harvests enough wind power to support over 90,000 Texas homes. This tour gave students an inside look into what a career in renewable energy looks like, right in our own back yard. As a bonus, the lead tower technician, Matt, was a 2004 Riviera ISD Alumni who showcased exactly what our students are capable of.
Our Riviera FFA members shined bright at the Mesquite District Leadership Development Events on Wednesday, November 12th!

Today, Riviera ISD proudly honored the brave men and women who have served our country. We extend our deepest gratitude to all veterans for their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting our freedom.
Riviera Lady Seahawks Honor Veterans 🇺🇸
The Riviera Lady Seahawks proudly joined the Riviera Cemetery Association in continuing what has become a cherished Lady Seahawk Basketball tradition. Coaches, players, and managers spent the morning placing American flags on the graves of U.S. servicemembers laid to rest at the Riviera Cemetery in honor of Veterans Day.
This annual act of service allows our student-athletes to pause, reflect, and recognize the true meaning of sacrifice and gratitude. It reminds us that representing Riviera means more than just competing on the court—it’s about character, community, and respect for those who made our freedoms possible.
As the season begins, the Lady Seahawks carry with them the spirit of service, unity, and pride in representing both their school and community. 💚🏀
