Riverview High School is a high school in Riverview, Hillsborough County, Florida, U.S.A. operated by the Hillsborough County Public Schools.
[edit] History
In February of 1996, the Hillsborough County School Board purchased two forty-acre plots from two different owners for a total of $2,050,000.00 on the southeast corner of Boyette Road and Balm Riverview Road, in Riverview, Florida to be the location of a high school. Ground was broken in January 1997, and construction began in preparation for opening of school in August 1998.
Due to many residents requesting that the name of the school be representative of the local city, the School Board voted at a regular meeting on December 9, 1997, to name the school Riverview High School.
On January 20, 1998, Riverview High School's first principal, Mr. J. Vince Thompson, was appointed. Mr. Thompson held meetings during the month of February 1998 with students from East Bay High School, Brandon High School, Bloomingdale High School, Progress Village Middle School, Burns Middle School, and McLane Middle School to discuss the implementation of block scheduling and the selection of a school mascot and school colors; block scheduling was agreed to, the colors of black, royal blue, and silver were selected as school colors, and the Sharks picked as the school mascot. On March 17, 1998, the School Board approved the mascot and the colors.
After much deliberation, the Hillsborough County School Board approved the Riverview High School boundaries on February 7, 1998. ==External links==
