Riverside High School is a public school in the suburban community of Greer, South Carolina.
The school, which serves grades 9-12, is a part of Greenville County School District.
The school opened in the fall of 1973 with 650 students on a 65 acre campus in a rural area near the town of Greer. Riverside boasts many services to offer students and the surrounding affluent community.
In Fall 2006, students began attending a brand new building on the same premises. As an official green building, it is one of the most energy efficient and environmentally-friendly high schools in the nation.
The student body has grown to a population of about 1,600 drawn from feeder schools Riverside Middle and Northwood Middle. The rival schools are Greer High School, Eastside High School, and J.L. Mann High School.
