MISSION STATEMENT OF THE CATHOLIC SCHOOLS OF TEXAS (Excerpted)
The mission of Catholic Education in Texas is the fulfillment of the educational ministry of the Catholic Church and has as its primary goal the continuous
formation of the Christian person. As a pastoral instrument of the Church, the strength of the Catholic School is its ability to respond to the needs of the whole
person, the Church in a time of transition, and the world with a global perspective for a peaceful and sustainable future.
The effective Catholic School must call its pupils to the conviction that people are more important than material gain, that justice is more important than success,
that love is more important than esteem, and that collaboration unites while competition divides. The truly successful Catholic School student is not necessarily one
who is successful in every endeavor, but one who accepts Christian responsibility for fulfillment of personal potential and shares these gifts with others.
Reicher’s Mission:
THE MISSION OF REICHER CATHOLIC
HIGH SCHOOL IS TO EDUCATE EACH
STUDENT IN SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY
BY FOSTERING PERSONAL EXCELLENCE
WITHIN THE CATHOLIC TRADITION. This
mission inspires the identity and culture
of the school and is the most important
aspect of its success.
† SPIRIT
Reicher’s identity is uniquely Catholic. The
entire school community gathers daily for
Morning Prayer and for Mass on Fridays,
and prayer begins every class, sporting
event, and meeting. An annual retreat is
provided for each grade level. Catholic
Identity is evident in our curriculum as
faith forms our understanding in every
academic discipline and students take
four years of Catholic Theology. The
student body also contributes over 4,000
hours of community service each year.
Significantly, the aspect of our mission
students and families mention most
is the “family spirit”—or what we call
“community.”
† MIND
Catholic educators say, “Our mission is to
get students into heaven first – then into
Harvard.” Most families choose a Reicher
education, even if they are of other faiths,
because they seek an excellent college
preparatory education. As a result of
Reicher’s rigorous curriculum, students are
ambitiously applying and being accepted
to competitive colleges, both in and out
of state. Every senior takes the SAT and/
or the ACT and the average scores on
both tests exceed the state and national
averages.
2011/2012:
Financial Information
Reicher operates debt-free so all resources can support faculty and programs that
deliver the best possible education.

year was no exception, during the first three days of school, Reicher does not hold classes; instead, our students
participate in a three day orientation retreat, called Triduum. The focus throughout the three days is community
building, service, and prayer. Students are able to reflect and evaluate personal growth and set physical, spiritual
and academic goals for the upcoming year.
Congratulations to Annie Jaska, Reicher’s Christian Woman of the Year and VJ Salazar, Reicher’s Christian Man of
the Year.
Congratulations to Robert Chacon, Mitchell Spooner, David Zettler, Michael Pieri, and Alex Schulman, each

2011-2012: REICHER Annual Report
THANK YOU
to Msgr. Mark Deering for his many years of loyal service to Reicher and our community. We join
countless others in honoring Msgr. Deering, who celebrated his 90th birthday on November 6, 2011.
Msgr. Deering has worked in the Waco community tirelessly for over 60 years. Reicher and our
community are forever indebted to him for his work in expanding our faith in the Greater Waco
Community. At the time of Msgr. Deering’s arrival, two Catholic parishes existed in the Waco area. There
are now 10 Parishes that form the Waco Deanery. Msgr. Deering is responsible for the development of
Catholic education in the Greater Waco area, providing the youth of our community the opportunity
to be receive a faith based education in the Catholic tradition. In addition to his involvement in the
creation of both St. Louis Elementary and Reicher Catholic High School, Msgr. Deering continues to
support Catholic education in an extraordinary way. Msgr. Deering created the Deering Foundation in
1991 because he recognized the importance of helping families in crisis, particularly in regard to the
needs of their children. Over the years, through the foundation, he has assisted numerous families in
severe financial distress due to illness or problems. Not wanting their children to be denied entrance
into Catholic schools, he began providing funds for tuition, both at St. Louis and Reicher. Since its
incorporation the Deering Foundation has supported the education of over 150 students. Thank you,
Msgr. Deering, for your continued dedication to Catholic education.
CONGRATULATIONS
to David Nemec, 2012 Celebrating Catholic Education Award recipient. Each year the Diocese of Austin
recognizes and honors those “unsung heroes” of our Catholic schools, who provide an example of
service, invite others into good stewardship and promote the Gospel message in their everyday lives
and specifically through the school community. Reicher is proud to announce that Mr. David Nemec
is the recipient of the 2012 Celebrating Catholic Education Award for his continued commitment to
enhancing Catholic education.
IN APPRECIATION
of the 2012 Celebrating Catholic Education Event, from which all proceeds were distributed to
the schools throughout the Diocese of Austin. As a result of the Event’s success, Dr. Ned Vanders,
superintendant of Catholic schools in the Diocese of Austin, awarded Reicher $3000 to be used for the
benefit of tuition assistance at Reicher.
SPECIAL THANKS
to Mr. and Mrs. Wardlaw, who arranged for Reicher to play football against Mr. Wardlaw’s alma mater,
Subiaco Academy located in Subiaco, Arkansas. Our students were able to travel to Arkansas, visit
the 125 year old campus, meet the young men of Subiaco, and travel to Fayetteville to watch Reicher
Alumni and Arkansas Razorback, Ross Rasner, play football. Reicher Catholic High thanks you, Pat and
Vickie Wardlaw, for providing our students with this unforgettable experience.

Some of the many programs and acivities
made possible by the Reicher Annual Appeal:
SUPPORT REICHER
TODAY:
IN ORDER TO NAVIGATE CHALLENGES TODAY, REICHER NEEDS SUPPORT
FROM ALL FAMILIES, FRIENDS, ALUMNI, FACULTY AND STAFF.
The Reicher Annual Appeal allows for today’s innovative programs, urgent priorities
such as financial assistance, and unforeseen obstacles and opportunities that will arise
throughout the year. Supporting the Reicher Annual Appeal has an immediate impact
on the quality of education Reicher is able to provide.
What is the GAP?
AVERAGE COST PER STUDENT
AVERAGE TUITION RATE PER STUDENT
= GAP
Bridging the GAP at Reicher means
covering the distance between tuition
paid per student and the actual cost to
educate each student TODAY. Reicher
charges a tuition that is significantly
below the actual cost in order to keep
excellent Catholic education accessible
to more families in Central Texas. Help
Bridge the GAP by becoming a Reicher
100/250/500 member or a Bridge
Builder.
WHO IS AFFECTED BY THE GAP?
EVERY Reicher student!
HOW TO BRIDGE THE GAP?
Support REICHER TODAY through the
Reicher Annual Appeal:
• Be a Reicher 100/250/500 Member –
contribute $500, $250, or $100 a month
for 12 months
• Be a Bridge Builder – contribute $50,
$25, or $10 a month for 12 months

2011-2012: REICHER Annual Report
WHY INVEST IN REICHER
CATHOLIC HIGHSCHOOL?
A Chance not Charity. In addition to
demonstrating a need, each student receiving
financial support must participate in
extracurricular activities, complete 20 hours
of community service each year, and live up
to Reicher’s code of conduct. Because every
family must pay a portion of the tuition, a
true partnership forms between the family,
Reicher, and YOU! Your donation provides a
chance, not charity.
A Sound Investment. Witness the fruits of your
investment each May as Reicher graduates
walk across the stage. For the past decade
100% of Reicher graduates have been
accepted to college. The graduating class of
2012, consisting of 54 students, earned over
$3.2 million dollars in college scholarships
from schools across the nation. One graduate
will be attending the American Musical and
Dramatic Academy in New York. Thirteen
graduates will be pursuing athletic careers at
the collegiate level, including two individuals
who will be playing Division I football.
“Reicher was a blessing to our family and we
were fortunate to have two boys educated in
all that is Reicher….mind, body and spirit…
they were able to grow, learn and become
productive contributors to their communities.
We truly feel so much of this was because of
the people who surrounded them….their
influences, role models like Mark Waggoner,
who taught them how to be caring and
responsible men……..Reicher was truly a
community raising our children.”
Hal and Jana Whitaker
GIVE TODAY, GIVE EVERY YEAR.

power to meet new strategic goals
while remaining faithful to its mission.
• Waco Foundation for Catholic
Education is a private foundation
established in 2010 to assist the
funding of Catholic education in the

GIVE FIVE IS AN ANNUAL APPEAL
THAT ASKS REICHER ALUMNI TO GIVE $5 FOR
EVERY YEAR SINCE THEIR GRADUATION.
If every graduate gave $5 for each year since graduation, this campaign would raise
over $250,000 annually! Prayerfully consider giving FIVE. Thank you to the Reicher
alumni who gave FIVE in 2011.
