History of Riverside Life at Riverside Faculty and Staff Board of Trustees

Peter Sahlin, BA Harvard College It’s not surprising that a man who frequently wears a bowtie, attended a prestigious prep school, and graduated with an English degree from Harvard, loves words, great literature, and perfect grammar.  Peter has high academic and behavior standards and knows how to inspire his students to achieve them.  His language arts program is rigorous and lively. Leading them in activities such as heated literature discussions, Shakespearean Reader’s Theater, and Civil War debates encourages active learning. What may be surprising to those new to Riverside, is that besides holding the bar high for academics, Peter also puts his heart and soul into playing hard. He can often be found on the golf course, 4-square court, or jamming with students on his electric guitar.  Peter also co-directs our all school musicals and helps our thespians get rave reviews.  He is one of Riverside’s all-time favorite DJs. He currently lives at Lyndon Institute with his lovely wife, Becky, who is a dorm parent and Latin teacher there.
