What Riverview Community High School does

Riverview Community School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Riverview, Michigan, serving approximately 2,900 students from preschool through 12th grade. It operates seven schools: the Riverview Early Childhood Learning Center, three elementary schools (Forest, Huntington, Memorial), Seitz Middle School, Riverview Community High School (RCHS), and a fully online Riverview Virtual Academy. The district primarily serves City of Riverview residents and accepts Schools of Choice applications from Wayne County and contiguous counties, with unlimited kindergarten intake. It is governed by a seven-member elected Board of Education and led by Superintendent Joseph "JJ" Hatzl, a Riverview alumnus in his 27th year with the district.

The district operates on a technology platform layered around PowerSchool (Student Information System), Schoology (Learning Management System), ClassLink (single sign-on), GoGuardian Suite (internet safety and classroom management), and Office 365 / Google Workspace productivity tools. Students in grades 6-12 receive district-owned Chromebooks under a 1:1 program with an optional $25-per-year protection plan. Supporting operational systems include Meal Magic (food services), Big Teams (athletic scheduling), Applitrack (hiring), SchoolDude (work orders), Parchment (transcripts), FinalSite (website), and Pathfinder/Xello (career exploration). The district's athletics are supported by the Donald G. Lessner Stadium, completed in 2022, and a January 2026 bond proposal on the November ballot targets additional facility, technology, and transportation investment.

Funding flows predominantly from Michigan's per-pupil foundation allowance, local property taxes, federal categorical grants (Title I, IDEA, McKinney-Vento), and voter-approved bond millages for capital projects. Ancillary revenue streams include Chartwells-operated food services, Champions before/after-care through a third-party provider, facility rentals via CommunityUse, athletic passes sold through VANCO Events, and minimal transaction fees (e.g., $35 diploma replacement). As a political subdivision of the State of Michigan, the district is a governmental entity and not an investable issuer; it does not have venture capital, private equity, or institutional ownership, and is not listed on any stock exchange.
