Everyone says that high school goes by fast, and I really never believed any of them. However, as my time at Brother Rice comes to an end, I can’t help but want time to stop and slow down. Everyone was right about high school. It does go by fast, so don’t waste your time.

In August of 2018, I was a freshman coming into what I thought was going to be “school” and “school only”. Coming from my grammar school, St. John Fisher, I was sure that nothing would beat my experiences there, and I was […]

As a community, the Southside of Chicago is truly blessed with some great food options. This community has anything you could possibly ask for. One restaurant that has constantly been a staple to the south side is Barraco’s Pizza.

With several locations surrounding the area, Barraco’s Pizza has been a “south side staple” without a doubt. Serving customers in Evergreen Park, Mount Greenwood, Beverly, Crestwood, Orland Park, as well as two carry-out locations in Burbank and Orland Hills.

The Standard: Mother McAuley’s Epic State Run

Over the weekend, we saw many impressive games from schools on 99th street. Brother Rice defeated Mount Carmel, and our neighbor Mother McAuley had an impressive run down at state for volleyball.

After an outstanding season, the Mother McAuley volleyball team was determined to make their way downstate. At the start of playoffs, the Mighty Macs were given a tough “road to the rings”. Facing competitive teams like Marist, Whitney Young, and Willowbrook, it would be a challenge to get another state championship opportunity. However, Mother McAuley was able to work past their challenges and make that trip to […]
