Transition Team

Letter From Our President and Principal

The Transition Team will serve to identify and address all challenges and opportunities that might occur as we shift to a model in which girls are admitted to Archbishop Riordan High School.  The team is structured to handle issues in the areas of academics, student life, campus ministry, scheduling, single-gender classes, professional development opportunities, community outreach, marketing, and strategic planning.  We will also seek the advice of a transition consultant as well as educational professionals who have experience in the single-gender to co-educational conversion. 

We are committed to administering a smooth transition that results in a stronger Riordan for both girls and boys. 

Sincerely, 
Andrew Currier, President
Tim Reardon, Principal
