Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

It is hard to believe that we are coming to the end of the school year. As I told the seniors, the graduating class of 2020 will NEVER be forgotten. What a year it has been for all of us!

I also want to wish a happy belated Mother’s Day to all of our Crusader moms. Your dedication to your student and Br. Rice is […]

Being a participant and leader on Kairos helped to find who they really are spiritually and it helped me to find who I am deep down. Attending mission trips and shelters help me to spread […]
