The mission of Catholic Education in Texas is the fulfillment of the educational ministry of the Catholic Church and
has as its primary goal the continuous formation of the Christian person. As a pastoral instrument of the Church, the strength
of the Catholic School is its ability to respond to the needs of the whole person, the Church in a time of transition, and the
world with a global perspective for a peaceful and sustainable future.

Reicher Catholic High School is accredited by the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department (TCCED)
which receives its accrediting authority from the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Reicher Catholic High School is a member
of the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA).
