Brother Rice High School (Michigan)
Brother Rice High School is a Roman Catholic all-boys non-residential college prep school with approximately 400 students located in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, United States in Metro Detroit. The school shares a campus with the all-girls Marian High School, Saint Regis Parish and the K-8 Saint Regis School. History Located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit, Brother Rice was founded by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in 1960 and named after their founder Edmund Ignatius Rice. Brother was originally located on the Continental railroad tracks. The tracks run through a school courtyard to this day. Many tourists each year visit the historic site. The school was the site of a labor battle in 2003 and 2004 when a group of teachers attempted to unionize. However, a state court ruled that state labor and union boards have no jurisdiction over private religious schools.

The lacrosse team has won the state title 24 times and was the 2008 Inside Lacrosse National Champion. The Warriors are members of the Michigan High School Athletic Association and
