Founders Week 2026

September 14, 2026, marks the 66th anniversary of St. Richard's Episcopal School's opening! Founders Week is a time to celebrate the history, traditions, and academic excellence that have shaped St. Richard's over the past 66 years. It is also an opportunity for our community to come together in support of the Annual Fund, the school's top funding priority.

Throughout the week, we will celebrate our school and the people who have helped make St. Richard's the special community it is today!

COIN WARS - All Grade Level Challenge

IT'S BACK! This year, we're expanding Coin Wars beyond pennies and encouraging students to bring in all types of coins!

Recently, the U.S. Treasury and Mint officially stopped producing new circulating pennies. With this in mind, we are expanding Coin Wars beyond only pennies this year and encouraging students in all grades to bring in all types of coins! Beginning Tuesday, September 8, each grade will have a labeled collection jar displayed in the front lobby. Throughout the week, students can add coins to their grade's jar. At the end of the competition, the grade that collects the most coins in each division will win a special, age-appropriate prize selected in collaboration with the winning grade-level teachers.
