SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW ,
welcome to riverside preparatory
located in sacramento, california, usa
rewind back to 1905 when charles h. riverside decided
that he wanted to build himself a hospital. back then money was
tight, and all he could offer was cheap, but efficient medical
services. he was well known for his miracle medicines that
seemed to take the common cold and flu away almost instantly.
some called him a miracle worker, others called him a witch. yes,
some townsfolk did believe him to be a witch, with magical powers.
after healing a little girls grave sickness that had been upon her
since she was born, some of the towns men didn't believe that he
was just another one of them. he was brought to trial in front
of a judge and jury. evidence was presented, and in 1912, charles
h. riverside was burned at the stake for his witchcraft ways. his
wife and children managed to escape, and the hospital became
abandoned.
sixty-some years later, riverside's great grandson, and his daughter,
elizabeth, came to the town of sacramento, california to see the
abandoned hospital that stilled lied within their family as a
possession. joshua riverside, with the help of his family and friends
restored the old place, and turned it into a doctor's office. when a
flood in 1983 destroyed the building, and took joshua riverside's
life with it, the land was left to elizabeth and nathan riverside.
the two pondered on what to do with the land, even thought about
selling it, but with how long it'd been in their family, that truly
wasn't an option. after some thought, they still wanted it to somehow
help those in need like their great-great-grandfather, and their
father had dedicated their lives to do. thus became,
riverside preparatory...
this isn't just any old school, nooo my fine child. this school is a
rehabilitation center, and a counseling center for teenagers. when
teenagers find themselves lost at a fork in the road, and mixed
up with the wrong aspects of life, their parents send them our way.
drug habits, alcohol abusers, and troublemakers make riverside
prep their home on a near daily basis. with guards watching doors
24/7, and some of the instructors living on campus alongside the
students, it's their duty to help the troubled youngsters get their
lives back on track, and to keep them from completely ruining
themselves. nathan riverside still resides as principal, he's now in
his late forties, with elizabeth, his younger sister, in her early
forties, as a counselor. they make it their life work to do the work
that the the rest of their family tried to do.
now here's a word from one of our students, amanda?

[/ul]you might want to excuse miss hendrix, she hasn't been here long
and we still have a ways to go with her. but you get my point.
we're dedicated to helping them, and they're dedicated to, well--
getting the hell out and causing as much ruckus as possible.
this sure is going to make for one hell of a year.
