🚀 Riverside High Named a Project Lead The Way Distinguished High School — Again! 🔧💻
For the 8th year in a row, Riverside High School has earned the Project Lead The Way Distinguished High School title — one of just 8 schools in North Carolina to receive it this year.
Even more impressive:
✅ Only school in the state offering both Engineering and Computer Science through PLTW
✅ One of just three schools in NC to win eight years straight
Huge shoutout to the powerhouse team behind it all: Adam Tokonitz, Jackie Brown, Mike Dibble, Ryan Patridge, Seth Stallings, and William Oakley — your commitment to delivering top-tier STEM education in a large public high school is what makes this recognition possible.
PLTW programs build real-world skills, spark innovation, and prepare students for whatever comes next. Riverside is proof of what’s possible when educators lead with purpose.
