In February 1996, the Hillsborough County School Board purchased two forty-acre plots from two different owners for a total of $2,050,000.00 on the southeast corner of Boyette Road and Balm Riverview Road, in Riverview, Florida to be the location of a high school. Ground was broken in January 1997 and construction began in preparation for opening of school in August 1998.
On January 20, 1998, Riverview High School's first principal, J. Vince Thompson, was appointed. Mr. Thompson held meetings during the month of February 1998 with students from East Bay High School, Brandon High School, Bloomingdale High School, Progress Village Middle School, Burns Middle School, and McLane Middle School to discuss the implementation of block scheduling and the selection of a school mascot and school colors; block scheduling was approved, the colors of black, royal blue, and silver were selected as school colors, and the Sharks picked as the school mascot.
