Saturday, February 15th is National SRO Day and we want to give a huge thank you to Officer Dave Prescott for his incredible service to Riverwalk Academy! Not only does he keep our school safe as our School Resource Officer, but he also coaches the swim team, brings energy to our school dances as a DJ, and is known for making a mean cheesecake that always leaves us wanting more. His leadership, dedication, and positive influence have made a lasting impact on our students and our school community. We’re so grateful to have you as part of the Riverwalk family—your contributions truly make a difference!

This Black History Month, we celebrate Amanda Gorman, the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, whose words continue to inspire. Her powerful poem The Hill We Climb brought hope, unity, and resilience to the forefront, and her activism amplifies the voices of Black women and marginalized communities.
Amanda’s work reminds us that even in challenging times, we can rise together. Her legacy as a poet and advocate for justice is a testament to the power of storytelling in shaping our future.

Celebrating the enduring legacy of Eldridge Cleaver during Black History Month at Riverwalk Academy. As a prominent activist, writer, and leader in the Black Panther Party, Cleaver’s bold voice challenged societal injustices and inspired generations. His autobiography, Soul on Ice, remains a powerful account of his transformation and fight for Black liberation. A key figure in the civil rights movement, Cleaver’s impact continues to resonate in the struggle for racial equality and social justice. #BHM #EldridgeCleaver #BlackHistoryMonth #RiverwalkAcademy #SoulOnIce

Shirley Chisholm didn’t just break barriers—she shattered them. As the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress, she made history in 1968, but her impact goes far beyond her political achievements. Known for her fierce determination and unapologetic advocacy, Chisholm challenged the status quo, demanding justice and equality for all, no matter the cost. In 1972, she became the first Black woman to run for President, proving that there are no limits to what we can achieve when we refuse to be confined by society’s expectations. Shirley’s motto was simple: ‘If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.’ Her legacy continues to inspire every generation to dream big, fight hard, and break through every barrier in their way. #BlackHistoryMonth #ShirleyChisholm #UnbossedAndUnbowed #Trailblazer #LegacyOfLeadership

Today we celebrate Ms. Born for School Counseling Week. We are so thankful for the intentional relationships she shares with our upper school students and how she helps to lead our seniors through the various steps and decisions they face as they approach graduation.
Honoring the timeless wisdom of James Baldwin this Black History Month. As a groundbreaking writer, essayist, and social critic, Baldwin's work laid bare the complexities of race, identity, and the Black experience in America. His powerful books, like Go Tell It on the Mountain and The Fire Next Time, ignited conversations on race and civil rights that are still relevant today. Baldwin was not just a writer, but a fierce advocate for justice, using his platform to challenge systemic oppression, both in America and abroad. As an openly gay Black man, his courage to speak truth to power broke boundaries in ways that continue to inspire us to confront the uncomfortable truths of our world. His legacy reminds us that literature can be a catalyst for change. #BlackHistoryMonth #JamesBaldwin #LiteraryGiant #ActivismThroughArt #LegacyOfTruth

During Black History Month, we honor the trailblazing Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American pilots and support staff who shattered racial barriers during World War II. Trained at the Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama, these heroes flew over 15,000 combat sorties and earned over 150 Distinguished Flying Crosses. Despite facing discrimination, they proved their unmatched skill, becoming the first Black military aviators in U.S. history. Their success not only changed the course of the war but also helped pave the way for desegregation in the U.S. Armed Forces. The Tuskegee Airmen’s legacy is a testament to courage, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of equality. #BlackHistoryMonth #TuskegeeAirmen #BreakingBarriers #LegacyOfExcellence
