ROBERT E. LEE HIGH SCHOOL, located at 1200 McDuff Ave S in Jacksonville, Florida, has long been one of the most historic educational institutions in the Duval County Public Schools district. Established in 1928, the school is known for its distinctive architectural legacy and its deep-rooted history within the Riverside and Avondale communities. For nearly a century, it has served as a central fixture in the area, offering a comprehensive academic curriculum alongside a wide array of extracurricular activities, athletics, and fine arts programs designed to foster student development.

In recent years, the school has undergone a significant period of transition and institutional change. Reflecting broader societal shifts and local community advocacy, the school underwent a formal name change in 2021 and is now officially known as **Riverside High School**. This transition was part of a larger district-wide effort to ensure that school identities better reflect the values and diversity of the current student body. Despite these changes, the institution remains focused on its mission to provide rigorous college and career readiness preparation, continuing to serve the Jacksonville community as a cornerstone of public education.
