Founded in 1925, Father Ryan High School is a coeducational, college-preparatory, Catholic high school located in Nashville, Tennessee. Over the past 100 years, our school, campus, and community have grown along with the city we call home. Our Mission is to be an experience of the living Gospel while challenging students to reach their spiritual, academic, and personal potential.

At the heart of Father Ryan’s student life is our House System, which is dedicated to developing peer-to-peer mentoring, leadership opportunities, and spiritual development. Since its implementation in 2020, this tradition has created new ways for our students to be known and loved. The House System tagline, “6 Houses. All Irish.,” references each student’s membership within one of 6 Houses (Elliston, Emerald, Immaculata, Norwood, Oak, Trinity); these Houses come together to form one Irish Community.

Each House is named after a significant part of Father Ryan’s history. Father Ryan is built on a history of tradition, and our House System deepens and enriches this experience while providing opportunities for our students to develop new traditions. 

Upon entering Father Ryan, students are placed in one of Six Houses. Houses are separated into seven Mentor Groups, each comprising 20-25 students from all grades and two to three faculty or staff Mentor Teachers. Mentor Groups meet daily and stay together throughout their four years, fostering strong relationships among peers and mentors.
