Brother Rice Welcomes New Band Director, Mr. Rich Alifantis

While the Crusader Crazies get the bulk of the press as the most spirited “12th man” at Brother Rice High School sporting events, there’s no denying that it is the “sis-boom-bah” of the Brother Rice/Mother McAuley Marching band that really gets the hearts of the maroon and orange fanbase pumping.  With the departure of former band director Mr. Zach Zielinski at the end of the school year last spring, the search began for a replacement who would lead with the same energy and spirit of band directors gone-by.  

Cue Mr. […]

Robotics at the MATE ROV World Championships

2023-06-29T09:12:01-05:00

The team had an amazing 2nd pool run. Alex Novak piloted the ROV beautifully, Mic Arundel was an unflappable leader and captain Peter Connolly devised a device between our first and second attempt that allowed us to complete 3 new tasks that we had never before attempted, without testing or practice! 

On their 2nd attempt the boys bested their first attempt total by 54 points! This was also 40 points better than the total that won the Midwest regional championship with!

During the final collaborative challenge Brother Rice’s robot was so capable that a higher ranked team […]

Brother Rice High School Aces Hire with New Volleyball Head Coach, Brandon McGinnis (’13)

With over 750 wins in its 31-year history, the Brother Rice High School volleyball program has experienced its share of success, bolstered by scores of area players who would go on to play at the collegiate-level and, equally important, by the consistency of its coaching staff: Head coach Dan Dwyer, who stepped down after Brother Rice’s memorable state playoff run this past spring, has served as either a head coach or an assistant for the Crusaders since the program’s inception over three decades ago. His replacement […]

Ms. P.’s Senior Year Class of 2023

2023-05-12T12:17:07-05:00

By Becky Pacetti

It’s 6th period on Friday, May 12, and it’s really quiet in Room 103.  No “hey, Ms. Spaghetti” from Barnold, no “tell us about college” questions from Morrison, no chatter about the weekend … silence. Now I shouldn’t be complaining about silence in a classroom (most times it would be really nice to have a quiet class), but this time, I’m not liking it.  

My senior English 4 Journalism guys have been gone for about 20 minutes, and I’m missing them already.  They were an amazing class:  creative, collaborative, and just a nice group […]

The Standard: Mission Trip to Peru

2023-04-27T20:59:24-05:00

During Brother Rice’s spring break, a group of students and faculty members went on a mission trip to Peru. With Mr. Alberts and Mr. Michniak leading the group of young men, the group built a house for a family in need. Through humid heat and abnormal living conditions, the group prevailed and provided for the less fortunate.

When the group first arrived, they were hit with a culture shock. Seeing how another country operated came as a surprise to many of the guys. The first couple of days the group was able to get comfortable with the conditions and […]

The Standard: Crusader Wrestling Continues to Impress

2023-03-08T09:35:50-06:00

By Jack Morrison ‘23

This past Friday and Saturday the Brother Rice wrestling team wrestled off at sectionals. The Crusaders battled through much adversity and are now sending four men down to compete at state.

The first to qualify was sophomore Bobby Conway. All season long, Bobby has been battling injuries and has felt as if he never had a chance to prove himself. Almost fully healthy and ready to go for sectionals, Bobby had something to prove. Going into sectionals, Bobby was an underdog, but he knew what he was capable of. Bobby had a gritty performance and battled to earn 1st […]
