Riverview High School - Sarasota, Florida
These past several years have been very busy for Riverview High School on Proctor Road in Sarasota. A landmark school for Sarasota, the original buildings built in 1959, have seen thousands of students graduate over these past 50 years.

After having lived in Sarasota over the past 10 years and having formally lived in New England and growing up on the beaches of Martha’s Vineyard I couldn’t agree more with the good Doctor.
