Principal's Message - Ms. S. Bender
Welcome to Michael A. Riffel High School's Website. We are a school that works at helping students reach their full potential. Teachers work with students and parents to help our young people learn how to be successful students who know how to interact positively with other people.
Our school has two programs. We have a regular academic program. We also have a Functionally Integrated Alternate Education Program (FIAEP) classroom. This is a Special Needs classroom.
Riffel is an Advanced Placement school. This means we offer a number of classes at the Grade 12 level for which students can obtain university credit. The students write a College Board exam in May to achieve the grade necessary for the university credit. The mark they achieve in the class is independent of this exam mark. The students do receive an AP designation on their Saskatchewan Education transcript.
In addition to our many academic successes, we also have a strong extra-curricular program. We have won many city and provincial championships in athletics and in fine arts competitions. Our students are well rounded in terms of extra-curricular activities. Many students who participate in athletics are also likely to participate in the fine arts and
vice versa.
Being a Catholic high school, we promote involvement, both in the school and in the community. Our students can be found working on many charitable projects, whether it be food hampers at Christmas time or working at the Marian Centre. The students of Riffel are willing to give of their time to help those in need.
Riffel is a school with a multitude of opportunities for students, both curricularly and extra-curricularly.

Vice Principal's Message - Ms. Kelley Ehman
Welcome to Michael A. Riffel High School! We are a faith-based educational institute that strives to nurture the mind, body and spirit of each one of our students. The double R’s of our school logo represent not only our school nickname – Riffel Royals, but also the two values we try and instill - respect and responsibility. We work with students to demonstrate and model respect for their fellow-students and teachers, respect for their community, and respect for themselves. We also work with students to develop the value of responsibility. We feel that if students learn the skills of problem-solving, effective communication, conflict resolution, goal-setting, time-management, and self-discipline, they will be well on their way to being effective leaders in their school and community and achieve the academic success that required for post secondary opportunities. Our practices and policies outlined in the student handbook and available on this website, support the goals we have for our school and our students. If you have any questions about our programs or practices, please contact me at the school office – 791-7260.
God Bless!
