Student Life
Student Life programming promotes student involvement, school spirit, spiritual development, and social concern.
Student involvement is emphasized by offering students a variety of student organizations.
Students are encouraged to socialize after school in the McCarthy Center with billiards, ping pong, darts, and foosball.
School spirit is promoted through the “Mustang Maniacs” as well as special activities like Homecoming & Spirit Week events, dances, game day themes, and pep rallies.
Spiritual development and social concern is championed through Campus Ministry and retreats like Kairos as well as organizations like the Respect Life Club and the Social Justice Club as well as school wide activities such as the Food Drive, the Giving Tree, Blood Drive, St. Baldrick’s, and monthly Spirit Days.
Student Clubs & Organizations
St. Rita Student Life offers a wide range of clubs and organizations built around brotherhood and common interests.
The clubs and organizations offered each year are suited to fit the needs of our current study body.
This flexibility means that student clubs and organizations can change from year to year depending on current student interest.
