Archbishop Riordan High School

Archbishop Riordan High School is an urban Catholic high school for boys. The school respects the integrity of each individual as a unique human being. Archbishop Riordan engages its students in a process of education, which promotes each student's personal growth and development in the intellectual, spiritual, social, and physical aspects of his life.

ARHS molds and forms young men into leaders, scholars, actors, musicians, and athletes through the mentoring of our faculty, coaches, religious and priests. The intellectual, spiritual and physical maturity of a young man is formed in a way that is structured, engaging, and focused on the individual learning abilities of each student and the gifts they bring to ARHS.

The development of leadership skills is essential to the Riordan experience and ARHS proudly provides our young men the opportunity to lead in student government, clubs, sports, Campus Ministry, and the performing and visual arts. The opportunity for leadership may not be afforded at a co-educational school or be as encouraged as it is on the campus of Archbishop Riordan.
