"Being a Father Ryan student has helped me improve my critical thinking and social skills, especially through extracurricular opportunities. Joining clubs, such as Chess Club, has been a great opportunity to spend time with friends and make new ones."

I knew Father Ryan was the school for me after seeing how the teachers value my time and genuinely want me to succeed in school. I have really enjoyed all the activities here on campus, especially being part of the “Jungle” at football games, and I feel like I am part of the Irish community.
