Facility[]
Located at 8465 Jerome Street, Windsor Ontario, Canada, Riverside Secondary School is located in East Windsor.
The original Riverside High School was located on Ontario Street between Esdras and Glidden. The building was previously Edith Cavell Elementary School, consisting of 3 floors of classrooms, the lowest floor housing the boys and girls dressing rooms, a shop room, and a stairway that led to a subterranean quaint but homey gymnasium with a cement floor. The partially grassed football field and cinder track were 2 blocks away on Ontario at Jefferson. The principal was Bob Walton and many of its staff went on to teach in the newly built RHS, including Sam Krewench, Miss Margaret Westgate, Mr. O'Gorman, Mr Sabo, Miss Trottier, Mr Byng, Mr Roy Giroux, Mr Giles, Mr Gorski, and Ms Stahl, and Mr. Wilkinson. The construction of Riverside Secondary School was completed in 1963 with additions in 1965 and 1971. A new track and football field were built in 2017.
