High School Principal

Dear Raiders,

Welcome to River Valley High School.  I am pleased to inform you of some wonderful strides we are making as a school and community as we promote our students to find success in many areas.  

Here at RVHS, we believe that we are all ALL IN and ALL TOGETHER.  This is not simply a slogan or catchphrase, but something we all aspire to; and a mantra that we should all try to live each day when we enter our school.  By working together and putting our heart toward success as a family, we can achieve great things.

At RVHS, we have many great things happening.  First, we take pride in offering a wide range and large variety of in house CCP classes.  These classes offer our students ample opportunities to receive free college credit, while remaining in our building.  We continue to grow in this capacity and we hope to have even more class offerings in the coming year.

Next, we continue to offer CTE courses that give our students opportunities to develop skills for life after graduation, find new interests, and have the chance to learn from a hands-on approach. 

We are also continuing to grow partnerships with area agencies and businesses to establish our ongoing culture of excellence.  Our partners this year include Farmers Bank, Vinton Masonic Lodge, Vinton American Legion, Hopewell, various churches in our community, and a host of other folks working to give our students a better student experience.  A special thank you to all our members of the community that work to make RVHS a better place.

I am thrilled to also announce that we showed significant growth on our state report card this past year.  This improvement is credited to our fantastic, hardworking staff, along with our bright and hardworking students.  We hope to continue to grow academically this year through initiatives such as SPDG, continued partnership with the University of Rio Grande, streamlining our data collection process, etc.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 740-446-2926 or gl_tjohnson@gallialocal.org.  Let’s chase excellence together.  Let’s be ALL IN ALL TOGETHER

Ty Johnson
