Bishop Louis Reicher Catholic School is proud to announce that two students from the Class of 2025 - seniors Emily Vicha and Mercedes Villa - have received honors by the National Merit Recognition Program, part of the College Board's National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). This distinguished recognition is awarded to high-performing students who excel in academic achievement, surpassing the qualifying score for recognition and maintaining a cumulative GPA above 3.5. Bishop Louis Reicher Catholic School is a college preparatory school in Waco for now over seventy years dedicated to educating the hearts and minds of our youth in the rich Catholic traditions and teachings of learning and faith.
In recent years, students in Sister Maximilian Marie's Theology classes have longed to visit Italy's sacred sites of Eucharistic miracles and Catholic saints. Thanks to a generous grant from the Kennedy Foundation, this dream came true. On January 7, our Juniors, Seniors, and select Sophomores, along with chaperones, began a 10-day Eucharistic Miracles and Saints Pilgrimage. This transformative journey deepens their faith and inspires them to live as joyful witnesses to Christ.
At Bishop Louis Reicher Catholic School, we provide a rigorous academic program from preschool through high school. Our balanced curriculum seamlessly blends core subjects with classical learning and the rich teachings of our faith. Designed to nurture critical thinking and a deep appreciation for God’s providence and love, our approach empowers students to excel academically while flourishing spiritually. We inspire them to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty, guiding each student toward excellence at every stage of their educational journey.
Our holistic approach combines prayer, sacraments, and reflection to deepen each student’s relationship with Christ, fostering moral growth and inspiring compassionate leadership.
