The Crusader community is like a family: close-knit, influential, and united by a love for Brother Rice High School. 

Family members move away, explore greater opportunities, and create their own paths, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t catch up once in a while! 

“Alumni Spotlight” will highlight some of Brother Rice’s most distinguished alumni and show the impact four years at 99th and Pulaski can have on one’s future.

Brother Rice Makes Room for eSports

2021-09-16T12:02:28-05:00

Last fall, as current Brother Rice High School senior Mateo Zarate navigated his way through a school year marred by a pandemic, he noticed an announcement for a new club on a hallway bulletin board.  “I was hanging out with friends, saw the flyer, and thought it’d be cool to join.”  It wasn’t long before Zarate was controlling a suped-up virtual car, speeding around a colorful domed arena, trying to score soccer-style goals in a high-octane driving game called Rocket League–all from the comfort of a high-backed gamers’ chair in his bedroom.  Welcome to a […]
