Vision Statement

In order to be an exemplary Catholic school, Saint Rita School will be:

  • A place where students, teachers, staff and school families work together toward the ultimate goal of human existence — knowing, loving and serving God in this world, so as to live with Him forever in the next.
  • A place where school parents actively participate in the education of their children, especially in their religious education.
  • A place where Catholic school families provide a model of home living by praying and attending Sunday Mass together, and by participating in the sacramental life of the Church.
  • A place where students and families of all faith backgrounds are welcome to share the blessing of a Catholic school.
  • A place where teachers witness to the Faith by their words and deeds, and through prayer and example promote the ongoing formation and spiritual growth of their students.
  • A place where students grow in the love of learning.
  • A place where students experience a challenging curriculum and are given the tools needed for academic success.
  • A place where students are exposed to the great works of sacred and secular art, so as to appreciate the role of beauty in faith and education.
  • A place where instruction in music, foreign language, technology and physical education provides a well-rounded educational experience.
  • A place where students are prepared for a life of service in society.
