Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year! This year, we are excited to introduce our new school theme: Better Together.
At St. Rita School for the Deaf, we believe we are stronger when we learn, support, encourage, and serve one another. Together, we can accomplish more than we ever could alone. Whether in the classroom, on the playground, at home, or throughout our community, every person plays an important role in helping each other succeed.
As we begin this new school year, we are reminded of God's Word:
"So no matter what your task is, work hard. Always do your best as the Lord's servant..."
Colossians 3:23
Let's make this a year of teamwork, kindness, growth, and faith because we are Better Together.

One of the most touching moments from our recent graduation ceremony 💚🎓Mrs. Kim had the special honor of presenting Hunter, one of our seniors, with a high school diploma. She has known him since kindergarten. Years ago, when she was a teacher in Dayton public schools, she presented his kindergarten diploma. Now, as a teacher at St. Rita School for the Deaf, she had the honor of presenting his high school diploma.
What a full circle moment and beautiful reminder of the lasting impact teachers can have in a student’s journey ❤️

As Dummy Hoy Day approaches this Saturday, May 23, we continue the effort to honor his legacy and help gain recognition for his place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame ⚾ While exploring Fr. Waldhaus’ personal photo album, we discovered historic photos of Dummy Hoy with a group of baseball players in 1926 and 1927. We are still unsure of the full story behind the photos, but we strongly believe some of the players may have been connected to St. Rita, as we recognized some familiar names. What an incredible piece of history 💚
Please help support Dummy Hoy by signing the petition to help get him into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. More information can be found in the comments below.
