The school has a strong Science focus, hosting an annual multi-school Science Fair which is professionally juried for the Marquette University competition. In our primary level Hands-On center, teachers and parents coordinate special learning units blending Science, Math, and Literature, for enrichment of our youngest students. The school takes pride in preparing students for a successful high school experience, in all subject areas. Building on the foundation of values taught in the home, we focus on Catholic doctrine, practice, and heritage. Daily faith experiences are coupled with expectations of self-respect and respect for all others.
Students participate in regular liturgies, prayer services, and seasonal celebrations of faith.
Our mission as staff is to share and assist in the growth of well-educated and responsible Christian citizens and parishioners. A network of volunteers, in the classrooms, in enrichment programs, and in other areas of school life, adds greatly to the success of our programs. The School Advisory Council, Enhancement Group, Athletic Association, Scouting, and Technology Committee, are examples of opportunities for involvement in school life. Our Athletic Association sponsors teams for volleyball and basketball, Grades 5-8, and St. Rita's hosts an annual basketball tournament every February. The school and parish sponsor Scouting troops for boys and girls, at all age levels.
