Father Gabriel Richard High School is a Newman Guide Catholic Honor Roll School. We provide an academically excellent education within an authentically Catholic community. We encourage our students to incorporate faith with reason to develop their intellects well, preparing them for college, for life, and ultimately, for heaven. FGR's supportive environment encourages students to Love God, Love Others, Love Learning, and Pursue Excellence. Our students come from 30 communities in Southeastern Michigan and several countries across the globe.
We are a 150+ year old institution dedicated to forming Disciples of Christ who will use their God-given talents for the greater good.
Our graduates are accepted to top universities and colleges, including all three military academies, Princeton, MIT, University of Notre Dame, and the University of Michigan.
