Brother Rice High School is an all-male, Catholic, college preparatory institution located in Chicago, Illinois. The school property line borders Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School and Saint Xavier University . It enrolls approximately 1,200 boys, mostly from local neighborhoods such as Beverly, Mt. Greenwood, Morgan Park and Ashburn, and suburban communities such as Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park. The Christian Brothers of Ireland founded the school in 1956. Thus, the school's namesake is owed to the founder of their religious order, Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice. The school colors are maroon and burnt orange. Currently a four-semester course allows CCNA certification, and many other courses give AP college credits. In 2004, 2005, and 2006 Brother Rice was named one of the top 50 Catholic high schools in the country. On September 14th, 2006 the school celebrated its 50 year anniversary.
