Bishop Ryan Catholic School is a PK–12 private, Roman Catholic, co-educational school in Minot, North Dakota, United States. Established in 1958, it is within the Diocese of Bismarck, and named for Vincent James Ryan, the second bishop of the diocese. The campus in north Minot is directly east of Minot State University.

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.

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.

Bishop Ryan's head coach in basketball from 1959 to 1964 was 24-year-old Dale Brown, later the head coach at LSU for 25 seasons (1972–97). Ryan's head coach in football from 1960 to 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.
