St. Rita Catholic School was established in 1918 and later merged with St. Bridget Parish. On November 8, 1953 a new St. Rita school and gymnasium was completed and opened in 1954.
St. Andrew the Apostle School and St. Rita Catholic School merged in 2002 and is located at the St. Andrew parish site, 4050 E. 38th Street. At the time of the merger, the school was renamed St. Andrew & St. Rita Catholic Academy.
