As your proud Principal of Riverdale CI I am greatly looking forward to the 2024-2025 school year.

RCI has such a strong history and reputation. It has stood as a pillar in this community and so many students and families have thrived in our halls. Our call to action is to ensure that all students, regardless of their identities can thrive and be proud Riverdalians.

As we work together, Equity, Anti-Oppression and Indigenous Sovereignty are our collective focus. We will create and maintain a school that will be a place for all of our students to learn, grow, succeed, and reach their potential.

The evidence is clear that too much screen time and social media has numerous negative impacts on adolescent health. To that end, I encourage all Riverdalians to get involved this year with in person clubs and teams. With so many opportunities that reflect our diverse interests, there is bound to be something for you. Make your high school experience the best it can be - you won't regret it!
