Four ways in. Then forty more.
These four are where most Raiders find their footing. Everything else is on the list below, and that list is long on purpose.
Raider Band
Marching, jazz, and concert, coed with Archbishop Chapelle, and it has played Disney and the Super Bowl parade.
By audition ›Genesian Players
A full production every year, cast from Rummel and from the Catholic girls' schools around it.
On stage ›Raider Robotics
Design it, build it, drive it, then take it to competition against everyone else who did the same.
In the pit ›Student Leadership
Ambassadors, Big Brothers, Student Council, and the Leader Academy. Rooms where somebody is counting on you.
Four ways to lead ›
Club Day
One afternoon, every table in the building, and a moderator at each one who wants you to sign up.
Loud on purpose
The drumline sets up on the gym floor and the rest of the school does the rest.
Rufus
Named for a senior in the charter class and drawn by a New Orleans artist. He has not missed much since.
Every club. Every category.
Clubs are part of how a Raider is formed, not what he does after the forming. Inside them he lives his faith, builds his community, and serves someone else, while chasing whatever he happens to love. Once a week the schedule turns over a club period, so a student can belong to more than one without ever having to choose, and every club is run by its own student officers, who plan the events, recruit the members, and speak for it to the school. Some of the traditions are Rummel’s alone: the Big Brothers’ Poster Nights in football season, and the Raiders’ Digest, the only print student newspaper in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Twenty nine clubs in four groups, each with its own page entry: what it does, who can join, and the teacher to ask. The list follows the school’s 2026-27 club sheet.
Two more ways to belong.
Not every Raider makes a varsity team, and not every eighth grader walks in already knowing somebody. Neither one is left to chance.
You do not have to make a team
Pickleball, ping pong, fishing, tabletop games, the FIFA Club’s Raider Cup, and a full intramural season at lunch. No tryout and no cut, just a place to play.
Somebody is already looking out for you
Big Brothers pairs juniors and seniors with eighth graders, and the upperclassmen apply for it. They run poster nights before games and put on a home run derby in the spring.
Two offices. One student at a time.
Clubs and teams are how a Raider finds a group. These two work with him on his own, on the things a roster does not cover.
Counseling and College Planning
Four counselors, assigned by grade and staying with it. Schedules and transcripts, testing, the college list, financial aid, and athletic eligibility.
Who to see ›Campus Ministry
Mass, retreats, student led ministry, and the 130 service hours every Raider owes before he graduates.
How it runs ›Come see an ordinary Tuesday. Not a staged one.
Spend A Day puts a sixth, seventh, or eighth grader beside a Raider for a full day, lunch included.
