Message from the President |

Dear Parents,
Cardinal Ritter High School has definitely started out February with a bang. In addition to Catholic Schools Week, which was a huge success, our students have also been involved in many activities that have showcased Black History Month. Please visit our website for a sample of what our students are compiling.
By now all current students have received their registration information for next year. Parents, as mentioned before, our tuition rates for next year are posted on our website. Please let me know if there are any questions or concerns.
I also want to take a minute to thank all of you that have contributed to our Annual Fund. Our goal this year was $141,000.00 and with the help of so many parents we are currently at $159,978.00 There is also a financial snapshot for Cardinal Ritter if you would like to see how our resources are allocated. Here is a link to our Annual Fund Report.
As you know, in order for us to be able to continue to have all of our students in the building, we must continue to have very few COVID cases at school. Parents please continue to be vigilant with your students. Please pre-screen before allowing them to come to school. But if they are not feeling well, please keep them home but let the office know.
If there is someone you would like for us to pray for as a community, please add them to our prayer request tab here.
Please stay safe. Thank you for all of your support.
God Bless,
Mrs. Hoy
