The school was under the [[trusteeship]] of the [[Congregation of Christian Brothers|Christian Brothers]], however they withdrew from [[Education in the Republic of Ireland|Education in Ireland]] in the September 2008 and the school passed into the trusteeship of the Edmund Rice Schools Trust upon the Brothers' withdrawal.<ref>[http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/0609/education.html RTÉ News: Hanafin praises Christian Brothers<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The school caters for approximately 525 students every year.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> Ardscoil Rís is well known throughout the country as an institution of academic and sporting excellence.

==History and Expansion==
Ard Scoil Ris originated in the [[O'Brien Institute]], which functioned as a private school, in 1969. Under the principalship of Br. Carberry, the new school incorporated the existing second-level students from the old school and day pupils from the surrounding area. Old dormitories were converted into classrooms and an old reception room became the staff room.

*In 1970 and 1971 six prefab classrooms were constructed.
*On [[21 November]] [[1973]] the new school building was officially opened by the [[Ireland|Irish]] president, [[Eamon de Valera]].
*In 1979 the school won the [[Hogan Cup]], winning the [[All-Ireland Colleges]] football title for the only time. No Dublin school has won it since. <ref>[http://www.answers.com/topic/hogan-cup Hogan Cup: Information and Much More from Answers.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
*In 1984 a new wing was added with dressing rooms, showers, a Library and Audio-Visual Room. The school continued to excel on the sports field and most students went on to third level education at this point.
*In 1998 a state-of-the-art sports hall was completed and officially opened by [[Bertie Ahern|An Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, TD]] and [[Diarmuid Martin]], the [[Archbishop of Dublin (Roman Catholic)|Archbishop of Dublin]].
*In 1999 six new classrooms were built, a new wing for the library was constructed, and some much needed office space has eased the pressure on space in the school.
*In 2001 the [[science]] labs were refurbished.
*In 2003 the new computer room was completed.
*In 2005 the school designated a permanent art room.<ref>[http://www.ardscoilris.net/Home/history/history_of_school.html History Of School<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
