April 2011 Issue
In this issue of the Hook, we celebrate Riverside’s 20th anniversary. When Riverside first opened there were no playing fields, three grade levels and fewer than 1000 students. The theater program started its tradition of excellence, and students danced to ‘Baby-got-back’ at prom. After 2:30 pm, just like today, they turned to outdoor activities to occupy themselves.
In each section, stories that flash back to the school 20 years ago are marked by ***.
