On Friday, September 30th, 2022, Riverdale High School hosted another successful homecoming event for the community. From the powderpuff game to the dance, the weekend was filled with all kinds of events to participate in. Starting on Friday, September 30th, Riverdale hosted an assembly at the end of the school day. During this assembly, people who were voted onto homecoming court were announced to the school. At 4:30 that afternoon, Riverdale hosted a Homecoming parade in downtown Port Byron. Many fall sports, activities, and local organizations, and homecoming court all participated in this parade. Following the parade, Riverdale High School hosted a booster meal for homecoming which had a great turnout. In the evening, Riverdale hosted a powderpuff football/cheerleading game.
