I have gone to Riverton my entire life and it has been a amazing experience so far. The town is experiencing growth and will be on a resurgence soon hopefully. People give it a bad reputation which is completely false and I have had nothing but a great experience here. I hope in the future people are able to realize that and decide to come to this community. I also hope more funding for this school will come through and help them become a great school like it used to be.

Riverton has provided me with the ability to expand my knowledge and participate in college classes as a junior and senior in high school. This has helped me prepare myself for my college path after high school. While I was born and raised in Riverton, the school and town itself is very closed minded and not diverse. I would like to see the school make a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Riverton High School offers a great overall feel. We have amazing and supportive teachers, coaches, and administrators.
