Each year, St. Rita Catholic School students line the hallways to clap and cheer as eighth graders walk one last time through school prior to graduating.

As part of this year’s Catholic Schools Week celebration, members of that class were welcomed back for the special Mass and their very “Clap Out” celebration.
