History
Construction began in January 2011 and was completed in August 2013. The construction process was overseen by Cumming Construction Management and contracted by China Construction America of South Carolina. It was constructed with many windows to reduce the cost of lighting. Students receive materials delivered online rather than through textbooks. River Bluff is one of the largest schools in South Carolina, covering an area of 540,000 sqft. Construction cost $138.9 million, authorized by voters in 2008.

In 2021, while exploring school grounds, a group of students discovered the graves of numerous Black South Carolinians dating back to the 1800s. A landmark was later added to the area to commemorate the historically black Mount Zion AME Church/graveyard which had stood on the school's grounds from 1857 to 1929.

In 2023, the parents of a student sued a teacher, principal, and other education officials, claiming the student was assaulted for not stopping to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
