Current members of the school administrative team include Dr. Will Okun, Mr. Kwame Stith, Ms. Jasmine McKoy, and Mrs. Tammy Patterson.

Riverside High School opened in 1991 (the first class graduated in 1993) and currently enrolls approximately 1,700 students.

The school has fielded several state champions in football, wrestling, men's lacrosse, volleyball, and swimming.

In summer 2023 Dr. Gloria Wood-Weeks after much deliberation with her administrative team and staff, rebranded Smart Lunch to become Pirate Block.

The rationale of the rebranding is to provide more structure to all students and still allow them to participate in clubs as well as receive tutoring in classes.
