WHAT OCCURS?
You will be hosted by a current Ritaman throughout the entire school day. A pizza special or Mustang Special of the Day will be provided for lunch. You may want to bring an extra dollar or two. Your host for the day will be either a freshman or sophomore who has similar interests and academic goals to yours. If you would like to request a student, we will make every effort to accommodate your request.
WHEN CAN YOU SHADOW?
Students can shadow any day that St. Rita has a full day of school. Please arrive between 7:55AM-8:10AM and enter through our Main Entrance (Door 15) which is located at the West back parking lot. A member of the Admissions Staff will meet you and introduce you to your host. Pick up will be at 2:35PM at the same west entrance.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BRING?
We will provide you with an informational folder and a writing utensil. Students are allowed to bring a phone but are asked to not use them during school hours.
WHAT IS THE SHADOW DRESS CODE?
Dress code is a collared shirt and dress pants or grade school uniform.
