In this episode of The Always A Raven podcast, host Janelle Menz sits down with Dr. Shane Rapp ’08, principal of St. James Academy and a proud Raven whose life and leadership have been deeply shaped by his time at Benedictine College.
From walking on to the soccer team to meeting his wife and experiencing a profound faith transformation, Shane reflects on the moments that changed everything. He shares the unlikely path that led him to a brand-new Catholic high school in Kansas City, where he’s now been serving for over 17 years.
What unfolds is more than a story of career and calling – it’s a testament to how small decisions, strong mentors, and quiet moments of grace can leave a lifelong mark. Whether in the classroom, on the field, or in front of the Eucharist, Shane’s journey reminds us that the mission of Benedictine doesn’t end at graduation, it grows.
