Leadership
Our Core Values
Our CARE RITE core values are who we are, what we stand for and what we want to become. They are at the very heart and soul of who we are. Behind every decision we make and every direction we journey, our values shape and guide us. These core values are the very essence of our culture. And our culture is something that lives in each and every one of us. Our culture is why we walk someone who is lost to their destination rather than just telling them where to go. Our culture is why we pop fresh popcorn. Our culture is why we treat the whole child and never just the condition. It’s also something we must protect, because it’s through our values and our culture that our foundation is strong and we can continue to build for a better tomorrow.
In the interest of preserving our unique culture, we invite you to recognize a staff member or volunteer for their dedication to our CARE RITE values. To do so, please submit this online form.

MASONS
The Scottish Rite Masons are affiliated with Freemasonry, a worldwide fraternal organization whose members share a common desire to better themselves as citizens and members of society. In the U.S., the Scottish Rite is one of the most popular ways for Master Masons to find great involvement in their fraternity. Others include the York Rite and Shriners.
Scottish Rite for Children is governed by a board of trustees, the majority of whom are Scottish Rite Masons. The organization epitomizes the spirit and principles of Freemasonry, expressing the Masons’ love for their fellow man, compassion for the sick and dedication to make worthwhile contributions to society. Through us, Masons fulfill their commitment to aid, support and protect the family. Financial support from the Scottish Rite or broader Masonic groups is on an individual, voluntary basis. Scottish Rite for Children is not affiliated with the Shriners Hospitals for Children.
Take Time to Read, a partnership between Scottish Rite for Children and the Grand Lodge of Texas, is a public awareness program that educates adults about the importance of reading to young children. To order Take Time to Read materials, such as posters, brochures and bookmarks, please email taketimetoread@tsrh.org.
