About

Riverdale High School is a public high school on Roberts Drive in Riverdale, Georgia, United States. The school serves about 1,400 students in grades 9 to 12 in the Clayton County Public School District. The current principal is Mrs. Sharon Wilson.

The school first opened in 1977 with a few unfinished projects to complete the construction of the school. Students and staff began use of the facilities on November 7 of that year.

The school's mascot is a pirate, giving the name "Riverdale Raiders" to students and faculty. A flag with an "R" supported by a pirate's sword is the school's logo.

In Summer 2019, Riverdale High School had renovations to bring a modern façade to the front and other changes to the school. Renovations were completed later in 2020.
