Riverdale High School (RHS) is an English language secondary school located in the Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was founded in 1964 and is still in use. The school is part of the Lester B. Pearson School Board, where it is designated a "community school". It was previously a part of the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal.〔"(Schools )" ((Archive )). Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal. January 17, 1998. Retrieved on November 24, 2014.〕 Riverdale has many athletic teams, including basketball, rugby, soccer, volleyball, track and field, and swim teams. The school also has a wide variety of community-based clubs and organizations. In 1971, the Riverdale Band won the International Band competition held in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. The school RHS logo visible to the right and the school slogan "Reach Higher and Succeed" (RHS) were adopted during the 1988/1989 school year when they were chosen in a school-wide contest. Both were submitted by students at the time. The school's official colours used to be Blue (a dark navy blue) and Grey, with the school paper having the matching name "Blue & Grey", but they were changed to match the uniforms which were adopted in 1993, whose colours were also selected by the student body.〔(Riverdale High School Uniform Regulations )〕 Before this the school had no uniform, only a dress code which included "No jeans" and "No clothes with holes". Due to a dwindling student populace Riverdale apportioned out half of its first floor to a French-language elementary school in 1988 to share costs, leaving the other two floors to the high school, along with the other half of the first floor, which included the cafeteria, shop classes and music department. Later in 2007 the school got back the full 1st floor. In 2011 the main hallway that was used for the junior grades was closed off for adult ed due to a low student population but, the cafeteria is still very much part of the school and so is the drama department,music department and shop classes which are situated on the first floor. ==Notable alumni== *Charlene Wong, figure skater *Michael Calce, Denial-of-service attack hacker known as Mafiaboy *Jack W.
