What is it about Riverside that makes you want to stay a Pirate.
I love being a Pirate. When I came to Riverside 35 years ago in 1988, I planned on starting my career here and leaving within a few years. A lot of my family were from the West Liberty area. Billie and I fell in love with the school and community, bought our house in 1989, and the rest is history. After being here our first year, we never had any desire to leave. Go Pirates!
