Rice High School (Closed 2010)

About the School

  • Rice High School is a community of religious and laity, established in 1938 in Central Harlem by the Congregation of Christian Brothers.
  • We welcome our sacred and secular responsibilities to empower young men intellectually, spiritually, physically, emotionally and socially.
  • Cherishing the uniqueness of each individual, we cultivate a caring but structured learning environment in which each student can emerge as a young adult with self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-discipline.
  • Expecting each student to strive to academic excellence, we challenge him to fulfill his own potential.
  • We seek to motivate him to pursue all ways of knowing and to be a critical user of all forms of information.
  • We expect him to become a lifelong learner, to cope successfully in a rapidly changing world.
  • Sharing a dedication to Catholic-Christian values with parents and caregivers, we are devoted to the development of men who possess strong character and Christian values.
  • We strive to guide each young man in modes of ethical and moral behavior that will sustain him in the roles he enacts in his family, vocation, community, church and society.
  • Rice High School nurtures leadership and fosters responsibility and accountability in its young men.
  • The faculty and administration expect that all Rice men will enter into college and complete their respective degrees with the intention to be leaders of their communities.
