Principal's Message

It is with tremendous pride and excitement that I welcome you to Riverside Prep High School. It is an honor to serve as your principal and to be part of a school community filled with talented students, dedicated educators, supportive families, and a shared commitment to excellence. Riverside Prep is more than a school; we are a community, and together, we have the opportunity to create an experience that our students will remember for the rest of their lives.

Our mission is at the heart of everything we do: Educating all students to be successful adults. We believe deeply in the potential of every student. Success does not look the same for everyone, but every student deserves the opportunity to discover their strengths, pursue their goals, overcome challenges, and develop the confidence to build a successful future.

Throughout my career in education, I have had the privilege of serving students as a teacher, coach, principal, and district leader. Those experiences have reinforced one belief above all others: students succeed when adults believe in them, challenge them, and refuse to give up on them. That belief guides my leadership at Riverside Prep. I want every student who walks through our doors to know that they belong here, that they matter, and that we believe they are capable of accomplishing great things.

Our teachers and staff are committed to providing students with a high-quality education while holding high expectations for their achievement. We want our students to leave Riverside Prep prepared for college, career, and life, but we also want them to leave with character, confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of who they are.

There is so much to be proud of at Riverside Prep. Our students have access to outstanding academic opportunities, including dual enrollment college courses that allow them to begin earning college credit while still in high school. Our athletic program features 10 CIF-recognized sports, and our 15 student clubs provide opportunities for students to explore their interests, develop leadership skills, build friendships, and find their place within our school community.

I encourage every student to take advantage of everything Riverside Prep has to offer. Get involved. Try something new. Join a club. Play a sport. Challenge yourself academically. Find an adult who believes in you. Be willing to lead. And most importantly, take pride in being a Riverside Prep Silver Knight.

School pride is more than wearing our colors or cheering from the stands. It is how we represent our school when no one is watching. It is treating others with respect, supporting our classmates, celebrating one another's successes, and taking ownership of our school and our future. Every student, staff member, and family has a role in building the culture we want at Riverside Prep.

My promise to our students is that I will always work to make Riverside Prep a place where you are known, supported, challenged, and encouraged to become the very best version of yourself. My promise to our families is that we will partner with you to help your children reach their potential. And my promise to our staff is that we will continue working together to create a school where excellence is expected, relationships matter, and every student has the opportunity to succeed.

We are Riverside Prep. We are proud of who we are, proud of what we are building, and excited about where we are going.

Welcome to Riverside Prep High School. Welcome home, Silver Knights!

Scott Sparks, Ed.D. - Principal
