Saint Rita School

This year, Saint Rita School is excited to announce A THREE-YEAR plan to modernize, beautify, and customize our school campus and buildings. This 3-year project totals more than $300,000. After completion of this three-year plan, Saint Rita School will celebrate 75 YEARS of quality, Catholic education (1949-2024) with a modern school campus for modern day students.

As we evolve, our school should, too.

PHASE 1 (2022) UPDATE: Replace lights and install new drop ceilings in Middle School classrooms; replace flooring in Middle School classrooms; paint Middle School classrooms; update the electrical grid in our Primary building. (Wiring in the 1940's and 50's wasn't made for copiers, scanners, POS, ActivPanels, laptops, Chromebooks, microwaves, and more. Our electrical grid needs a bit of a facelift!)

PHASE 2 (2023) MODERNIZE: Replace student desks and chairs in Middle School classrooms; update landscaping at Middle School entrance; create new outdoor elements to personalize the campus including signage, awnings, lampposts, seating, and more.

PHASE 3 (2024) BEAUTIFY: Create a new outdoor classroom with flexible seating options for the school and parish communities to use for learning and exploration.

Update. Modernize. Beautify. Prepare us for another 75 years.

See the next tab for donation suggestions for the 2022 campaign!

PHASE 1: UPDATE THE CLASSROOMS

Before: A classroom built for the 1950s. Old tile flooring and tile ceiling with limited florescent lighting and limited electrical outlets for ActivPanels and Chromebooks. 25 year-old desks and chairs. 

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

After: A classroom with new lights, ceilings, flooring, paint, and electrical grid. New flexible seating options that meet the standards of a 21st century student.

PHASE 2: CREATE A NEW ENTRYWAY

Before: An entrance hidden by mature trees and one that lacks dimension, softness, and warmth.

ISN'T IT ICONIC, DON'T YA THINK?

After: An entrance that exudes school spirit, has dimensional layers of functionality and design, and welcomes generations of Falcons to come!

PHASE 3: CREATE AN OUTDOOR LEARNING SPACE

Before: An area of grass surrounded by mature trees without any functional seating or purpose.

NOT ALL CLASSROOMS HAVE 4 WALLS

After: An outdoor classroom/amphitheater built to accommodate multiple classes and create additional space for learning, exploration, and parish functions.
