It was brought to my attention that members of RSOR generally learned about the school from a relative. I am curious who and if possible can you also post how old that person is?
I am try to see if there are any patterns here.
Thank you!!

My Grandmother is Gwendolyn Winifred Prince and is currently 62 Years Old.
After I graduated Elementary School, my Grandma made a visit just to talk to my parents about sending me to Riverdale. Now, for anyone who knows my Grandma Gwen, she is a wild woman who travels a lot and has a lot of fun, so for her to interrupt a trip to stop off and persuade my parents...that was a big deal. Either way, I ended up going here because I wanted to after hearing about it from my Grandma, and partially because I was the first in my family to do so. Being in a large family, it was nice to be the first to do something...even if I've had that chance many times.

Parents were looking for a nice boarding school and so they found this one online. The rest just fell into place.

Like Fred, I heard about this school first through our grandma, and decided to follow her here.
Guess I don't really have to post much since she already took care of everything... =P

For me, it was mainly because I live in Riverdale...but I came back because my brother Justice continued to go here, if it counts for anything. So I put both 'live in Riverdale' and 'other relation'.

A teacher pointed my family to the school, otherwise they never would have thought of it. I checked the records and it wasn't rsor related, though he said that I was sure to fit in in Riverdale, and sure enough, I did. xD |

I live here. I would be going to the other high school in town, though, if not for my mother, so I selected both. Though, there's no real connection. My mom is a hairdresser in her 40's that immigrated from Iran and lived in NYC up until 10 years ago.

As most of you know, I've been here my whole life. Don't have to worry too much about hearing this place from others when I knew I would be going here since I was a kid!

No relations...I've just lived here all of my life. Interesting idea though!

For me, it was my mother. She went to Riverdale as a teenager.
She is unfortunately deceased, but her name was Carrie Driscoll, formerly Carrie Andrews. She would have been 44 this year.

Well, we came to North Carolina for my father's job, but it was Grandma Susie who suggested Riverdale.
As most of you now know, she's a substitute teacher at the school. Not only that, but apparently she was one of the founding members of RSOR.
Her name is Susan Rhodes, formerly Susan Humphrey, and she's 64 years old.

My Grandfather, Adam Caine Sharp is the one who directed me here. He used to tell me many things about history. I used to ask him questions about names I remembered or recalled from what seemed like nowhere. But they were men I served with, kings and politicians who gave the orders...basically things right from my past. He never asked questions himself and just gave me answers. I even asked him once about reincarnation. He never confirmed it, but he said it was more than possible. I came here because I wanted to please my grandfather and now I am almost positive that he was in RSOR.
