Open House

An Open House for prospective applicants and their parents is held each fall showcasing the school’s academic and extracurricular programs.  Faculty, staff, and student representatives are present to answer any questions visitors may have.  The date for this year’s Open House is Thursday, November 15, 2007.

The Archbishop Rummel Open House is a "must-see" event for prospective students. At this event, prospective students will see the school at its finest. Every visitor will be treated as a V.I.P. as he passes through the halls during this special occasion.

The tour of the campus begins in the Raider gymnasium where every extracurricular activity and athletic sport will be presented. Available are flyers, stickers, literature, and the coaches, moderators, or involved students.  The tour continues into the Raider Room or Food Court.  Inside, the visitors will hear presentations by school administrators and students.

After the presentation, tour guides will escort the visitors to their next destination. A faculty member and several actively involved students, who will bring the visitors through the school buildings to meet the chairpersons of each academic department, lead each tour. Not only will visitors be able to learn what superior academics the school has available, but also they will see the actual textbooks, workbooks, and activities the classes utilize each day.

Once the tour has reached the Junior High Campus, the visitors will be able to see the cutting edge technology and religious aspects of Archbishop Rummel.  In the computer lab, visitors will be able to see the prestigious school web site, student made computer projects, digital images of the Open House, and the computer applications available on each computer.

At the end of the tour, visitors will be brought to a massive tent celebration behind the junior high to receive refreshments and dessert treats while a jazz combo performs.  Prospective students are strongly encouraged to witness this spectacular and elaborate event. Open House is so extremely effective that many of the applying students interviewed commented that the Open House was their deciding factor when it came to choosing Archbishop Rummel High School as their school of choice.
