St. Rita School was founded in 1953 by Monsignor Champagne to provide the families of St. Rita Parish a Catholic education. Today, the school exists for this same important purpose of providing students the educational opportunities necessary for spiritual and intellectual growth. The Staff and Faculty of St. Rita School believe that the privelege of enabling and encouraging each child to develop to his/her full potential constitutes the greatest responsibility that they have toward the child, his/her parents, and to God.
