St. Rita High School, to me, is so many things. It is Family, Spirituality, Student Involvement and Academics . It is tradition and a deep alumni base that is nearly 25,000 in number. It is diversity in how the students think, where they come from and what they're involved in. It is a place where they knew me by name when I was a student, and that was early in my freshman year! The teachers there cared for me and I was not a face in the crowd. You can be a face in the crowd anywhere in life, but St. Rita treats you like a name--not a number. I grew as a man, I grew as a student, I grew as a writer, a critical thinker, an athlete and I grew more confident in my place in the world. If I were given the choice again today of where to go to high School, I would choose St. Rita 100 times out of 100. It is a home that you go to for four years, but many times, you stay for a lifetime.
St. Rita High School is the best option for young men in Chicagoland. The administrators and teachers truly know each and every individual student by name. There is no secret formula at St. Rita--it's just that it's the perfect size school and has the best family atmosphere. The 2019-20 school year really is bringing that family atmosphere back. Boys become men at St. Rita and they are prepared for college and graduate with several college options. The 153 members of the Class of 2019 earned over $20 million in college scholarships!
I absolutely love my experience at St. Rita. I transferred from a public school in the neighborhood because of academics and safety. I didn't feel as if my neighborhood school was preparing me for college. I also didn't feel safe at the school. There were fights everyday and school lock downs on occasions. How can one learn and be productive in that type of environment.
Transitioning from a coed public school to a private all male catholic school took some adjusting but I love it. My mom calls St. Rita "a day care for boys" because "we" can be ourselves. We do not have to change who we are to impress anyone especially the girls. Academically, St. Rita has challenged me by getting better grades, thinking "out of the box", creating better study habits and developing long lasting friendships.
