Welcome to the PTSA Website for Riverside High School
On behalf of the RHS PTSA, welcome to our Riverside family! As a PTSA, our goal is to advocate for our students in our school, our community, and in governing decisions. We also foster and support positive relationships between the students, staff, parents and surrounding community. We have a great PTSA board and welcome you to be a part of it. There are many ways to be involved. We encourage you to become a member. We are also looking for partners in our Friends of Riverside campaign—either as a family or business, Consider volunteering your time or talents to our various events. Feel free to browse this website for more information and to find ways to get connected. We look forward to meeting you.

Last year's collection drive resulted in the delivery of 100 bags of over 1400 pounds of food to our GCS families seeking food assistance. We need your help in our efforts to meet or exceed that amount again this year as we distribute food bags anonymously to our GCS students in need. Make an online donation or drop your food donations in the appropriate "bin" each morning in the T-Mall between 7:45-8:30am to receive a donation receipt for proof of service hours. *Students must know the value of their item donation to receive a donation receipt.*

National PTA Reflections 2026-2027
Does your student enjoy art, music and dance or have an interest in writing, producing films or taking photos? Then join us in encouraging your child to have fun unleashing their inner artist with PTA Reflections!
This year’s theme, “What My Culture Means to Me”, calls for their unique interpretation through the arts. Students will enjoy rewards and recognition for their effort, and their judged entry may be selected as a winner at the school, district, state, or national level.

School Store is OPEN
School Store in the cafeteria is OPEN and going strong. But we’d like to clear up some confusion among students, so please share this graphic with your students to help explain the new Incentive Program. Due to the new enforcement of the SC Smart Snack guidelines during school hours, the store is no longer allowed to SELL sugared sodas or candy. But students may EARN these items as an incentive. PTSA has added a $10 “School Store Donation” item to the menu. Every student that makes a donation will receive incentive tokens to be exchanged for sodas or candy. If a student makes a $10 donation to the Store, they will receive 5 incentive tokens, each token good for one $2 soda or $2 candy bar. This is NOT a scam. Do the math – it’s a $10 donation for 5 - $2 incentive item tokens. These donations can only be made at the school store.
The store is open for all lunch periods, after school on most Tuesdays and Thursdays, and WE NOW HAVE MORNING HOURS on Mondays and Wednesdays. Do you have 35 minutes to spare in the mornings when you drop your student off? Check in at the office beginning at 8:00am and give us whatever time you have to help until students head to class at 8:35am.
Please come volunteer with us!!!…and sign up today for Morning from 8-8:35am or Lunch from 11:50-2:20. Grab a friend and consider a recurring time slot each week/month OR meet new people and sign up on whatever random days work with your schedule. It's easy and it's fun :) Training is provided during Monday at lunch, or contact Kristen Vaughn for another day. The store is also open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45-4:15pm (when volunteers are available) to serve our students in after-school activities. Contact Kristen if you have availability to work a Tues/Thurs afternoon shift. Thank you for serving our students!
