Bishop Ryan Catholic School is a PK–12 private, Roman Catholic, co-educational school in Minot, North Dakota, United States. It was established in 1958[3] and is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bismarck. It was named for Vincent James Ryan, the second bishop of the diocese.
After the 2011 Souris River flood and the flooding of the Little Flower Elementary campus, the preschool and elementary students were moved to Bishop Ryan, resulting in North Dakota's first Catholic PK-12 school.[4]
Athletics
Bishop Ryan's mascot is a lion, with the girls' teams referred to as the Lady Lions. The school has sports programs in football, golf, volleyball, cheerleading, track and field, baseball, softball, basketball, cross-country, and wrestling. The school competes in the Class B division, except for football in Class A.[5]
Bishop Ryan's head coach in basketball from 1959-1964 was 24-year-old Dale Brown, later the head coach at LSU for 25 seasons (1972–97).[6] Ryan's head coach in football from 1960–1962 was Ron Erhardt, later the head coach for the North Dakota State University Bison, New England Patriots and the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants and the New York Jets.[7]
