Dear RCCSS community,

Welcome back to a new school year! My warmest greetings and gratitude for your dedication to our Catholic school community.

At RCCSS, we are committed to developing personal and academic excellence rooted in our faith. As we navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, let us rely on the core values that underpin our Catholic identity: compassion, integrity, service, and love. Our goal is to instill in our students a deep sense of faith, a passion for learning, and a genuine concern for the well-being of others.

Our scripture theme this year from Esther 4:14, “Perhaps you were born for such a time as this,” embraces the call to foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and growth. It is my desire that RCCSS be a community where everyone’s contributions are valued, and where each person’s unique talents and perspectives enhance the richness of our environment.

I am confident that the 2023-2024 school year will be filled with memorable moments, accomplishments, and milestones. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of our students and create a nurturing and inspiring environment that reflects the love and teachings of Jesus Christ.

May this school year be filled with joy, fulfillment, and abundant blessings for everyone. I look forward to working closely with you to continue building upon the strong foundation of excellence that defines RCCSS.
