Since its founding, St. Rita High School has always believed that developing a student’s character is as important as educating for intellectual growth. Informed by values, students learn to use their intellect and skills productively and in service to others.

The school has identified the following five core values as the ethical and moral guideposts that enable all of us in the Potomac community to develop good judgment and live principled lives: Courage, Integrity, Humility, Perseverance and Respect.
