100% Brother Rice Spotlight – Mr. Joe Kalczynski ’96

There are many things that make a Brother Rice student who he is. None of which are average. We encourage our students to develop their interests and pursuits through experiential learning opportunities, helping them discover hidden talents and passions. Every student’s path is different and we believe that is a good thing. We also believe that only when you are 100% YOU, are you 100% Brother Rice!

The same is true for our faculty and staff. Every adult on campus is fully committed to helping each student become his best self, and they do this by being theirs.

I have coached and taught at Brother Rice since fall of 2005 (currently in my 17th year). I have Coached Basketball and Baseball, as well as taught Math, Physics, and Pre-Engineering. To this day, my greatest source of pride at Brother Rice comes from being the Director of the Band of Brothers. I’m committed to challenging the boys to become the best leaders they can be, and I’m committed to motivating them to grow in their individual character development. The students, faculty, and staff are all in the process of growing. As long as we are making progress daily toward our goals, we are living out the pillars of Brother Rice by consistently showing Excellence in our everyday life. I am proud to be a Warrior, and cannot wait every day to try to make the students feel the same way as I do: #blessed — Mr. Joe Kalczynski ’96
