Riverdale High School Renovation Project Completed

The School District of Lee County is proud to announce the completion of the extensive renovation project at Riverdale High School. To mark this exciting milestone, the school will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the start of its Homecoming Pep Rally on Friday, September 12, officially opening the new classroom spaces and state-of-the-art gymnasium.

Over the course of two years, Riverdale High underwent a remarkable transformation:

  • A 14-classroom science building and full-size gymnasium were constructed.
  • Visual arts classrooms, a dedicated testing facility, and a childcare academy were added.
  • Lighting, flooring, paint, HVAC, audio, fire safety, and communications infrastructure were all upgraded.
  • The parking lot was redesigned and expanded to accommodate 774 vehicles.
  • Sports fields were relocated, with the addition of beach volleyball and outdoor basketball courts.

This $108 million transformation was made possible through revenue generated by the half-cent sales tax approved by Lee County voters in 2018.
