Welcome

Principal Dawn LaFargue-Armelin

Welcome to Riverdale High School!

Thank you for visiting our website and taking the time to learn more about our school community. It is an honor to serve as principal of Riverdale High School, a place where tradition, opportunity, and high expectations come together to prepare students for bright futures.

At Riverdale, students come first. Every decision we make centers on creating opportunities for students to learn, grow, and succeed. We believe every student deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential. When students feel seen, they grow.

Our faculty and staff challenge students to think critically, lead with integrity, and pursue excellence in the classroom, on the field, on the stage, and in our community. Whether students choose college, a career, military service, or another path after graduation, we want every Rebel to leave Riverdale prepared to make a meaningful impact.

The Riverdale Way—Preparation, Respect, Integrity, Diligence, and Excellence—gives meaning to Rebel PRIDE. Every time we say "Rebel PRIDE," we celebrate more than school spirit—we reaffirm the values that guide our decisions, strengthen our community, and inspire us to learn, lead, and serve.

Thank you for entrusting Riverdale High School with your child's education. I invite you to explore our website, celebrate our students' accomplishments, and discover the many opportunities that make Riverdale such a special place.

With Rebel PRIDE,
Dawn LaFargue-Armelin
Principal
