Though its doors were closed mid term this year,
one final graduation ceremony for Riverside High
School on Friday to honor a single graduate,
Chirisa Coleman.
Actually, there were two; Shailey Bertling also
graduated, but chose to take part in the BFHS
graduation ceremony, where the Riverside Class
of 2013 was merged after the school's closure.
Three other former Riverside students; Haley
Cromwell, Jon Barton and Josh Barton, are on the
verge of graduation, with just a few more
requirements to meet to earn their diplomas.
"These kids worked really hard and overcame many
obstacles to get this far," said Title 1
paraeducator Debbie Flory. "They should be
recognized."
Sadly, it was the smallest graduating class ever
for Riverside; after the closure at the
beginning of this year, several students, unable
to adapt at Bonners Ferry High School, dropped
out.
Former Riverside staff extend their thanks to
the United Methodist Women's Group, the Mt. Hall
Church, Bonners Ferry Baptist Church, Mountain
Springs Church and the Segue House Group for
their continued support of the Riverside
students.
"You helped this struggling school when everyone
else gave up on Riverside School," Flory said.
"You were there until the very end. We will be
forever grateful."
