DESCRIPTION

The Gleeson Family Courtyard stands as a cornerstone of Brother Rice High School’s commitment to fostering a sense of community and faith. Officially unveiled as a new milestone for the school, the courtyard is more than just a physical space—it is a living testament to the values of unity, joy, and reflection that Brother Rice upholds.

Generously dedicated by Charles Gleeson, Class of 1980, and his family, the courtyard celebrates the enduring bond between the Gleeson legacy and the Brother Rice community. With three sons—Charles '14, Connor '16, and Cameron '17—graduating from Brother Rice, and a daughter, Caroline, graduating from Marian High School in 2021, the Gleeson family’s connection to the institution runs deep.

This serene and inspiring space reflects the love, faith, and sacrifice that Julianne and Charles Gleeson have instilled in their family. It is a place for students, faculty, and families to gather, pray, and celebrate the spirit of Brother Rice, creating lasting memories and strengthening the school’s vibrant community for generations to come.
