Senior Scholarship and Award Winners Announced

 

The Riverview High School annual Senior Athletic and Honor Awards Ceremony had a new look this year, as it was presented virtually. 

The closure of school buildings due to COVID-19 resulted in a one-of-a-kind show on May 6 that featured awards, video speeches, singing and a celebration of this truly extraordinary class. To ensure the show ran smoothly and as normal as possible, the link to the event was kept a secret until the original start time for the event. At 6 p.m. sharp, emails went out and social media posts went up as the event premiered. Students, families and all viewers were encouraged to make a nice dinner, have some hors d'oeuvres and watch as if they were at the Oaks Theater. It truly was a memorable experience! 



The video was a team effort that included high school principals Dr. Neil English and Mr. Eric Hewitt, as well as Mrs. Raney Zatawski and Mrs. Maureen Kennedy. Riverview parent Mr. Dave Longstreth added additional flourishes, including the music and transitions. 

Congratulations to the Riverview Class of 2020!
