Greetings!  At Gabriel Richard Catholic High School, we recognize that a child's high school experience can make a significant difference in his or her readiness for college and career.  We foster an atmosphere in which students strive to not only reach their highest academic potential, but to strengthen and live their faith while developing leadership and social skills that are crucial for continued success.

 

Academic Excellence

 

With 15 Advanced Placement (AP) courses and 9 honors classes, Gabriel Richard provides a rigorous academic environment that challenges, nurtures and prepares students for life beyond high school.  Beginning in 2025-2026, we are also partnering with Madonna University to provide on-site, in-person dual enrollment courses that allow students to begin earning college credit while in high school.

 

A Community Built on Faith, Knowledge and Service

 

We encourage our students to grow in their understanding of themselves, in their relationship with God, and in their relationship with others.  Our students attend weekly Mass, engage in daily prayer and give back to the community by participating in Christian outreach throughout the year. 

​

Developing Each Individual as a Whole

 

We are more than academics.  Our extracurricular programs offer something for everyone, including more than 25 sports teams that promote sportsmanship and integrity; a vibrant fine and performing arts program; and several student activities that promote leadership and social opportunities.  At Gabriel Richard, more than 90 percent of our students are involved in at least one extracurricular activity.

 

Poised for the Future

 

To provide the best educational experience for our students, we continue to make improvements to our school environment.

 

• To strengthen our school safety, we recently completed several campus-wide enhancements including the addition of more than 65 security cameras.

• During the summer of 2025, we upgraded the computers and monitors in our technology lab and throughout the school with new high-performance models.

• To facilitate a healthy and comfortable learning environment, we installed air conditioning units in each of our classrooms and replaced drinking fountains with filtered water stations.

• We continue our school-wide initiative of updating classrooms to reflect collaborative learning environments with the latest technology.  Enhancements include carpeting, flexible seating, upgraded technology and new, dimmable LED lighting.  We recently completed a total renovation of our chemistry and biology labs.

• We recently installed a brand new athletic track and new athletic training room to complement our one-of-a-kind, multipurpose artificial turf field and state-of-the-art floating gymnasium floor.

• Our cafetorium and stage area includes four 70-inch monitors, a 16' x 10' drop-down projection screen, enhanced sound system, and a wireless microphone system with touch pad control.  

• Finally, to elevate student engagement and learning outcomes, our students take part in a 1:1 technology program with Chromebooks and wireless Internet throughout the campus.  

 

Since its founding in 1965, Gabriel Richard has been a place where lifelong friendships are formed, values are strengthened, and future leaders are prepared.  We invite you to experience the difference a Gabriel Richard Catholic High School education can make for your student.



Yours in Christ,
