The Standard: A Bittersweet Farewell

I could not wait to leave. I could not believe I had another year at Brother Rice. All I wanted to do was leave and get to college. I wish I could go back and tell myself differently. My senior year was, hands down, the best year of my life.

My summer going into senior year was straight football. Waking up at 5 in the morning and heading to Brother Rice for summer football practice, day after day, probably seems dreadful for many. While some days were harder than others, I can genuinely look back and say that those […]

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 […]

By Jack Morrison ‘23

In 2019, the talk of Brother Rice getting a new baseball field began. There was much interest surrounding the subject, but other issues around campus had to be tended to first. The north campus parking lot was in desperate need of a makeover. Attention shifted from redoing the baseball field to the makeover of the parking lot.

The parking lot plan was underway and the baseball field talks started up again. Then, Covid-19 hit and halted everything.

“Right before covid hit I heard talks of the baseball field being redone. But since then I haven’t heard much about it. I […]

The regular season was full of many surprises. Team Faculty took the league by surprise […]
