History
In September 1954 the school began admitting black students, making it the first racially integrated school in Tennessee.

Father Ryan High School's first campus was at 2300 Elliston Place, which was dedicated in 1929. Father Ryan remained here for 62 years and expanded twice, but eventually it outgrew these facilities and during the summer of 1991 relocated to its present home on Norwood Drive in the Oak Hill area of Nashville, TN. The school's original name was Nashville Catholic High School for Boys.
