Welcome Letter
An introduction to the 2017-18 school year
By Colin Watts
Chieftain Staff
A lot can happen in a year and, here at
Brother Rice, a lot has happened.
As we embark on the 2017-18 school
year, we at the Chieftain want to welcome
all faculty, staff, and students in the only
way we know how: a letter.
Here at the Chieftain, we’ve changed.
We’ve added 13 new members to go with
our returning four staffers. As you may
know, we added a broadcast element to
the Chieftain last year, “Chieftain Live.”
After much positive feedback, “Chieftain
Live” is back, better than ever, and ready
to deliver informative and fun content to
you, the Brother Rice Students.
Just like last year, the Chieftain will be
distributed to you on your iPad via the
Chieftain app. And make sure to follow
us on Twitter @BRChieftain. We’ll be
there often to conduct polls and share
B R OTHE R R IC E H IG H S C H O O L C H I E F TA I N
news throughout the course of the school
year.
On behalf of the Chieftain staff, I want
to welcome to Brother Rice the Class of
2021 (some of you are pictured above),
to whom this fi rst issue is dedicated. We
hope you have enjoyed your fi rst month
of school, and we only hope it keeps get-
ting better.
To the Sophomores, we hope that you
continue what you started last year and
use what you learned in the best way
possible.
To my fellow Juniors, let us work
harder than ever to achieve our goals in
our most important academic year.
Finally, to the Seniors, it is time to enjoy
your last year at Rice. Have fun but also
do all you can do to leave a positive im-
pact on the school.
Good luck to all and, as always, Live
Jesus in our hearts, forever.

which statement about each is not true.
