For the second consecutive year, the Cristo Rey Network honored staff members at each of its 41 schools with the Outrageously Bold Award, a network–wide celebration to recognize and celebrate exceptional talent. 

Inspired by the Cristo Rey Credo and the words of Cristo Rey Network Chair Emeritus Fr. John P. Foley, SJ, the award recognizes teachers and staff across Cristo Rey campuses whose ambition, compassion, and radical hope make a lasting impact on Cristo Rey students.

“May our hope be so outrageously bold that people will laugh at us if they knew what we hoped for!” – Fr. John P. Foley, SJ

“We’re thrilled to recognize the extraordinary staff members from each of our schools whose work exemplifies the bold spirit and transformative mission of the Cristo Rey Network,” remarks Brendan Bedell, Cristo Rey Network Chief Talent Officer. “The Outrageously Bold Award is designed to celebrate the amazing people that embody this bold optimism for our students and families. We are excited to celebrate our Outrageously Bold Award winners as they represent what is best about the Cristo Rey Network. 

At each of the Cristo Rey Network’s 41 schools, Outrageously Bold Award recipients were selected through a combination of peer nominations and leadership review, recognizing individuals or teams who consistently demonstrate exemplary performance and outstanding results. Each honoree received a commemorative pennant, a gift card, and public recognition during a special end-of-year school gathering.
