Apart from athletics, there are plenty of clubs and activities for students at RBHS.^[12] Students are able to join in on any clubs either to compete or just hang out.

RBHS is home to two media operations. First, there is The Clarion. The Clarion is the official newspaper of RBHS. It serves as the loose successor to the shortly-lived Sentinel which operated from 1924 to 1926.^[5] The Clarion began publication sometime around the school's inception and became official in 1930.^[13][5] The Clarion is student-run and seeks to teach members about the performance and ethics of journalism^[13].

The second media operation at RBHS is RBTV. RBTV can trace its roots back to 1980 with students managed a makeshift television studio with second-hand equipment to produce projects and a student-run news program. RBTV became official in 1984.[1] In 1985, The Metrovision Cable Company donated cable broadcasting equipment to RBTV. This allowed RBTV to be broadcast on cable television throughout the Riverside-Brookfield area. It was considered pioneering at the time as one of the first high school tv stations. RBTV is still run on cable to this day via Comcast. RBTV is also available through U-Verse, Roku, and streamed online.[2]
