2020 demonstrated the remarkable strength and ingenuity of Catholic schools like Rice. Despite the many challenges, Rice prospered with the support of the donors listed here. This Valentine's Day, we gratefully acknowledge the love our donors have shown Rice. Thank you!

This week is Catholic Schools week, an annual, nation-wide celebration of Catholic education.

Our alumni database desperately needs updating! We have close to 2000 alumni tagged as 'lost.' We miss these important members of the Rice family and would love to find them. Do you know where they are?

One of the pillars of the Rice mission is academic excellence. Learn more about how we foster this goal by watching this recording of a Zoom presentation made on January 13.

Help unwrap a student's potential with your year-end gift.

Chorus during COVID has certainly been challenging but it hasn't stopped us from making music. The weather couldn't stop us either. Although the quality of the performance was not as we hoped because the accompanists hands were freezing as well as the singers, we wanted to share our work. Special thank you to Steffen Parker for taking the film, and the brave accompanist Simon Yiga who battled the elements to help us out!

From the humble to the extravagant, ALL gifts make a difference. Help unwrap a student's potential with your Christmas gift to Rice.

“Why didn’t God just do it this way?” said one of my students this week. It’s a fairly common occurrence in my freshman Scripture classes for students to tell me what they think God should do or should have done in a particular situation in the Bible. When we humans don’t understand the workings of God, we think we know a better way, but the truth is that God knows what is best for us, and his ways are so high above ours.
