Welcome to Ryan High School

Opened in 1991 and established as its own campus in 1995, Ryan High School is named for Billy Ryan, a former teacher, coach and administrator for Denton ISD. The school originally opened in 1991 as Denton High School – Ryan Campus, while Denton High underwent extensive renovations. In 1995, Ryan High School became Denton ISD’s second comprehensive high school, and it graduated the first class of Raiders in 1996. 

Ryan prides itself on being “The Home of Champions,” having claimed numerous state championships and recognitions in academics, athletics and fine arts. The campus is known for its tremendous school pride, with all of its students, faculty, staff, alumni and fans belonging to “Raider Nation.”

When it comes to athletics, few high schools in the state can match Ryan’s all-around credentials. Raider athletic teams have claimed three football state championships, a boys basketball state championship, and state final or semifinal appearances in baseball, girls and boys soccer, softball, swimming, and track and field.
