Riverside Prep
Please be sure to register your cadet and his date by April 7 by completing this registration form.
Military Ball is a Riverside tradition that allows us to celebrate both our senior cadets and JROTC successes and provides the opportunity for our seniors to ceremonially pass the leadership mantle to junior cadets. This spring, Military Ball will be held 5:30-10pm on Saturday, April 22, and we are pleased to announce Medal of Honor Recipient and Iraq War Veteran SSG (R) David G. Bellavia as our guest speaker.
