St. Rita strives to be a safe, caring, nurturing environment with high expectations of all our students. St. Rita believes each student can reach their full potential spiritually, academically, physically and emotionally in an environment that fosters and celebrates our Catholic identity. The Good News of the gospel and our Catholic traditions are modeled and integrated into the whole learning experience.
Our staff, students, parents and the church collaborate to maintain a positive and nurturing environment at St. Rita Catholic School. We recognize that an education in the most enabling environment must be provided for all students. It is a shared responsibility among school, home, church and community which provides students the opportunity to achieve their maximum potential.
At St. Rita, everything we do ensures the presence of a Catholic Environment. Throughout the day, students realize opportunities to discover God in their lives.
