Brock Narciso ’23, Student Government Association (SGA) President, welcomes the Class of 2026 at Freshman Orientation.

Rockhurst High School’s 109th school year began on August 15, 2022. Although the school was founded in 1910, the first classes began in the fall of 1914. The beginning of this school year also marks the 60th anniversary of the school at our current location at 9301 State Line Road.

The school officially welcomed the Class of 2026 for Freshman Orientation, during which they celebrated Mass, became familiar with campus, and met their teachers for the first semester. The following day they participated in the first of four Freshmen Day for Others throughout the year; their second occurred October 12.

The service days begin with a morning discussion about the Universal Apostolic Preferences, as each service day will focus on one of the four Preferences: Walking with the Excluded, Showing the Way to God, Journeying with Youth, and Caring for Our Common Home.

Freshmen are then divided into small groups and assigned to a community agency throughout the city to volunteer for several hours before returning to school to reflect on their service to others.

A highlight of the first quarter on campus for the Class of 2026 was their Freshman Retreat on October 7 in the midst of Alumni Reunion Weekend. Students heard from alumni speakers; got to meet and bond with classmates whom they might not have known yet from classes or cocurriculars; and enjoyed “hometime” dinners hosted offsite in the homes of student retreat leaders with group discussions led by faculty members.

The Freshman Retreat included small group bonding, teamwork-building activities, and Mass as a group.
