Capital Campaign

Saint Richard Catholic School is a parish-based Pre-K3 through 6th grade Catholic elementary school founded in 1953 in Jackson, Mississippi. In January 2024, we acquired the former Meadowbrook Church of Christ campus, and began a major renovation to create a state-of-the-art school at our new location on Meadowbrook Drive. We are thrilled to continue to invest in the city of Jackson and ensure that Saint Richard School remains a beacon of academic excellence and a nurturing environment for all students.
