Herron-Riverside High School

Our Mission Herron Classical Schools is a community of scholars that advances timeless ideas and content, builds a culture of respect and trust, and engages in an urban environment in order to prepare students to be world-class citizens. Our Vision Herron Classical Schools is founded on the belief that a classical, liberal arts education, where students are steeped in great historical thought and invention, is the best preparation for a future life of leadership and service. Herron-Riverside High School was founded in 2017 as the second campus of Herron High School (HHS), one of the nation’s highest-performing public high schools. Herron-Riverside High School is a true replication of the award-winning model established at Herron High School. Riverside was created in response to the overwhelming demand for enrollment slots at HHS and the need for high-quality high school options within Indianapolis’ urban core. Riverside holds a charter from the City of Indianapolis Mayor’s Office of Education Innovation, which was awarded by a unanimous vote of the Indianapolis Charter School Board in 2015.
