Donnie Williams Center Mission

The Donnie Williams Center integrates health and wellness curriculum and programs into St. Mary’s Ryken High School and the larger Southern Maryland community to benefit our students, staff and friends of SMR. The Donnie Williams Center is a centralized, all-inclusive wellness facility, designed to strengthen, inspire and empower our entire community on their journey toward a balanced and healthier lifestyle. Aligned with the St. Mary’s Ryken High School mission and Xaverian Brothers’ core values, the Donnie Williams Center is a place to gather, to connect and to explore wellness through intellectual, occupational, physical, social, emotional and spiritual activities.
