Riverside School District #2 is located in Phoenix, Arizona. Our district is made up of newer residential properties with nearly 1,000 students on two campuses with a third campus on the drawing board. We are very fortunate to have the advantage of commercial, university, and industrial partnerships that help support our advanced curriculum, state of the art sports facilities, year round extracurricular activities, fully funded afterschool academic tutoring programs, and integrated instructional technologies that are unavailable to many large and private schools. In essence, we are the school district of choice for the discerning parent.

We are excited for parents, students, and the community to become part of the Riverside family; a community school district where students are provided with an advanced curriculum by master teachers and highly qualified staff. We invite you to use our district Web site to learn more about our wonderful programs, our state of the art schools, and our many academic achievements. For information about becoming part of the Riverside School District faculty and staff, click on our Human Resources Department Web site. To take part in donating directly to our student extra-curricular programs, please visit our School Tax Credits page to facilitate your contribution. Please take the time to review the 2009-2010 District School Calendar so that you may schedule your volunteer time at one of our schools. If you have any questions or comments, we hope you will feel free to contact us directly.
