Archbishop Riordan High School

Being involved in band, campus ministry, and living in the dorms has really shaped my experience at school. Through these communities, I’ve been able to meet people from different backgrounds and build meaningful relationships that go beyond just academics. There’s a strong sense of connection here. whether it’s rehearsing together, attending events, or just spending time in the dorms, it genuinely feels like a supportive environment. I’m also part of the Asian Student Association, which has given me a space to celebrate culture and connect with others who share similar experiences. Overall, the school has a strong sense of “family spirit,” where people look out for each other and create a welcoming atmosphere.

I'm an international student from Vietnam at riordan and this is my second year at riordan, and I'm coming back next year to complete my senior year. I personally like the community and the dorm life, and the clubs are great too. I WOULD recommend coming here because it an experience.

Archbishop Riordan High School is a very caring and supportive community where people can feel accepted. Also, Riordan can both encourage academic excellence and personal growth, especially the AP courses, Riordan offers many AP courses so students can think critically. Also the location at Riordan is good, it is easy to hangout with your friends and find a good place to eat.

Enjoyed the school, nice people around.

I’m a senior and I’ve been in the boarding program for 2 years. The people here are amazing, there are many nationalities in the dorm so I got a chance to get to know many cultures and friends. The teachers and RA’s are also very caring and funny, they really are our second parents.
