Rockhurst HS Ignatian Service

In the Jesuit tradition, RHS students are called to live out the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. We strive to be men for others - Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.

Thanks to members of our amazing Parents Club who provided the Class of 2029 with donuts before they headed out for their first Freshman Day For Others of the year!
They are assigned to one of 12 local agencies where they will spend the morning in service to others. AMDG

What a wonderful Memorial Day! We started by joining our friends at the Church of the Ascension for Mass. After more smooth travels, we have arrived at the Habitat for Humanity Lodge. A tough wiffle ball game ensued, featuring Mr. Dirk Lawson and Fr. Carlos Esparza, SJ. #AMDG
