Archbishop Riordan High School
Archbishop Riordan High School is a diocesan, co-ed Catholic high school established by the Society of Mary in San Francisco, California. It is part of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. It opened in fall 1949 as Riordan High School, named after Archbishop Patrick William Riordan, the second Archbishop of San Francisco; "Archbishop" was officially added to its name in 1990.
Riordan was the oldest exclusively male high school in San Francisco until it became coeducational in 2020.
The Marianist Organization has remained a guiding force throughout Riordan's existence and follows several specific "Characteristics of Education in the Marianist Tradition":
Archbishop Riordan High School offers a variety of Honors and Advanced Placement courses. Advanced Placement offerings include:
Archbishop Riordan is the home of four AP exam readers. As of 2015, 426 AP tests were administered to 218 students, with 67% of those scores qualifying for college credit.
In 2016, Archbishop Riordan expanded their curriculum offerings to launch a four-year honors engineering program track. Students apply to the program when applying to the school and are accepted based on their 7th and 8th grade math and science grades, performance on standardized tests, demonstrated ability to handle a rigorous course load, and demonstrated interest in the area of engineering. In addition to taking two engineering courses each year, students are expected to take advanced math and science courses that complement the engineering offerings and prepare them for a college-level engineering major.
Archbishop Riordan High School operates a residential boarding program with students from nine countries currently living on campus. The program is one of only a few that are located in a major US city.
In the fall of 2017, the school launched a House System to increase school unity. As incoming freshmen, students are divided into one of the four houses: Cana, Bolts, Russi, and Pilar. Within each house, students are divided into "R-Time" rooms, a homeroom classroom they remain in throughout their four years at Riordan and meet with nearly every morning. The four houses work together to participate in community service events and compete in intra-school competitions, such as the Crusader Games and Frosh Olympics. Houses are also used to group and organize students for school masses and assemblies.
