A Communication to Cristo Rey Network Friends and Family | May 2022 |
|
|
Dear friends, National College Decision Day on May 1 is behind us, graduation season is upon us, and I'm thrilled to be traveling to Cristo Rey OKC Catholic High School this weekend to celebrate the school's very first graduating class! The excitement won't end there. In the weeks following, I'll join Cristo Rey Fort Worth College Prep and Cristo Rey De La Salle East Bay High School (Oakland) in observance of the same milestone! Each of these three school communities will enjoy excitement, inspiration, and hope shared by many; the inaugural class, school faculty, staff, and boards, local bishops and religious sponsors, Corporate Partners, and civic and philanthropic leaders have been engaged even before each school opened its doors. Our 2,500 Class of 2022 graduates across 38 schools have demonstrated unparalleled grit, as evidenced by their acts of service, individual faith formation, academic growth, and Corporate Work Study evaluations. Graduates' networks of champions will continue with them as alums embark on their pathway to and through college and into career. Donors, the higher education community, and local and globally recognized scholarship organizations recognize the talent and promise of these students and have responded by awarding millions of dollars in scholarships and financial aid offerings. The national office alone is administering $2.12 million in college scholarships for the Class of 2022. Notably, the Posse Foundation and QuestBridge named 30 of our graduating seniors recipients of full financial support to their college or university of choice. Doors of opportunity await our Class of 2022 and the students who will follow in their footsteps. Please read on, as the excitement doesn't end here. Sincerely in Cristo Rey, |
Elizabeth Goettl President and CEO |

| The Cristo Rey Network has been named the recipient of the 2022 Education Summit's Excellence in College and Career Prep Award! Voted on by the education community nationwide, Cristo Rey received recognition given to an exceptional K-12 educational institution or system using Salesforce to prepare students for success in college and future careers. Since 2017, the Cristo Rey Network has scaled from 5 to 36 Cristo Rey high schools using two custom-built and shared Salesforce solutions - Gradforce and Work Studyforce - to support the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) and Alumni Advising. Schools' CWSP teams leverage Work Studyforce to manage both sales and operations functions, including student job placement, scheduling, and timecards.
