Under the direction of the Congregation of Christian Brothers,
Brother Rice High School has educated young men since its inception
in 1956. Sharing the charism of our founder, Blessed Edmund
Rice, the faculty and staff work each day to instill the mission of
Edmund through the Essential Elements of a Christian Brother

parents in the community who wish to provide their sons with an
