Info
Archbishop Riordan High School is a diocesan, all-boys Catholic high school established by the Society of Mary in San Francisco, California. It is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco. Originally called Riordan High School, the school was named after Archbishop Patrick William Riordan, the second Archbishop of San Francisco, and opened in the fall of 1949. In 1989, then-student body president Derrick Kualapai met with principal Fr. William O'Connell and shared his vision of branding a new name for the prestigious college preparatory institution. In 1990, "Archbishop" was officially added to the school's name. The school is known for its historically successful basketball, wrestling, track and field, football, marching band, concert band and theatre programs.
