RIVERSIDE
Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence in Dyslexia Education!
Since 1974, the campus and the student enrollment have grown significantly, but Riverside has remained dedicated to the vision created by Mrs. D, Ruth Harris, and the school’s early leaders. As we reflect on 50 years of our mission to transform the lives of students with dyslexia and similar language-based learning differences, we invite you to celebrate with us, share your Riverside stories, let us know what you’re up to, and come to special 50th anniversary events throughout the year.
