Our Mission

Rice teaches students to recognize and develop their unique gifts by inspiring them to love learning, to serve others and to seek God through Jesus Christ and His Church.
Our Pillars
-
Faith
As a Catholic school deeply rooted in kindness, integrity, and respect, we welcome students from all faith traditions or no faith tradition - while remaining committed to forming leaders who reflect these moral values. -
Academic Excellence
Rice provides students with a rigorous academic community that invites students to develop strategies and skills of life-long learners which will assist them as they prepare to be successful in higher education and beyond. Our teachers work hard to help students not only get into the top colleges in the nation, but to thrive and succeed once they're there. -
Community
The community of Rice is an integral part of our school. We welcome young people into a community where they feel uniquely known and loved while free to take intellectual and creative risks, discover their passions and grow in heart, mind and soul. -
Service
Rice students are motivated and encouraged to get involved in the larger community through service and outreach. Rice is committed to educating our students to look beyond themselves and see their ability to impact and influence the world with their talents and skills.

Thank you to East Coast Printers who taught Mr. Parker's Graphic Design class about image outlets. Students’ individual designs were digitally printed on t-shirts, and they screen-printed a Rice supporter t-shirt we hope to eventually have for sale.
