2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Making the Future Brighter
A MESSAGE FROM THE ARCHBISHOP
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Cardinal Ritter College Prep school community,
I want to thank you for your investment, involvement, and
commitment to our school. Your generosity makes a challenging,
college preparatory education possible for so many talented young
men and women.
For more than thirty years Cardinal Ritter College Prep has made
a profound difference in the lives of our students—and in our
community. The class of 2012 achieved a 100 percent graduation
rate –and 95 percent of them were accepted into college! Following
in their footsteps are the classes of 2013, ’14, ‘15 and ‘16—all
working together to achieve academic excellence in an atmosphere
that challenges them to reach their God-given potential.
These achievements would not be possible without the unwavering
commitment of our civic leaders, especially David Farr, Chairman,
Emerson, David Kemper, Chairman, Commerce Bank and Andy Taylor,
Chairman, Enterprise Holdings. Their leadership and generosity
along with so many other civic leaders, corporations, businesses,
individual benefactors and friends give our students the tools
necessary to succeed in high school, college, and beyond.
While much has been accomplished, the need has never been
greater. An investment in Cardinal Ritter is an investment like no
other because it is guaranteed to pay dividends in the lives of our
students, our community and our work force for years to come. Will
you continue to partner with us to ensure that a Ritter education
is available, affordable, and accessible to every student seeking a
brighter future?
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson
