Riverside Community School District

Sophomores kicked off the first group college visit of the school year with a trip to Northwest Missouri State University today! 🌟 Students had the chance to explore campus, ask questions, and continue to imagine their future beyond high school.  At Riverside, it's our mission to ensure every student graduates having the opportunity to experience visits to a private college, a larger university, a smaller state school, and a community college/trade school. These experiences help students see what’s possible and start building their path forward. 💡 A huge THANK YOU to our anonymous donors who made this trip possible. Your generosity helps open doors and shape futures! 💙
