The first bells at River Oaks Elementary rang in September 1990, and children from three communities became one family.
Over the years the enrollment increased and communities grew, but from that day to this, the staff has been committed to the education of our students.

The River Oaks faculty, staff, and student body are culturally enriched by many nationalities. We begin each day with a positive attitude and a sense of pride in our school. Our mixing bowl of cultures truly makes us the essence of a family.
