Beyond The Classroom
Clubs and Organizations
Various student organizations on campus allow students to take on leadership roles and become involved in a variety of school service projects in addition to community service projects.
Membership into our honor societies is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a Riviera student. We strive to give practical meaning to our standards of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character.
These five ideals are the basis for selection as well as a fundamental part of each chapter's activities. Each honor society strives to recognize the total student -- one who excels in all of these areas.

Community Service
Riviera students often experience the satisfaction that comes from helping others. The unity, mutual trust, and cooperation flow naturally into every aspect of education here. Each year, our students are involved in a number of different community service projects. Students in both campuses conduct drives, collect goods, and provide hands on service within the community.
Student Mentoring
All new students in grades six through twelve participate in our Bulldog Buddies program. The program's mission is to introduce new students to the Riviera family by pairing each student with a mentor. Mentors are available to help new students with any school related issues, and to help in the general transition to Riviera. New students complete an interest inventory form, which helps to connect them with like-minded students. Mentors are typically introduced to their mentees during the New Student Orientation.
