a decade of innovation Cristo Rey Network 2011 Annual Report
mission The Cristo Rey Network empowers thousands of students from underserved lower-income communities to develop their minds and hearts to become lifelong contributors to society. By providing students an extraordinary college preparatory education and a unique four-year, integrated corporate work study experience, we seek to help transform urban America. The Network Center supports the Cristo Rey schools in achieving this mission by:
• Implementing an Educational Enrichment Initiative that ensures that all Cristo Rey students are college ready by graduation; • Ensuring that the Corporate Work Study Program provides valuable services to work study job sponsors and real world work experience to Cristo Rey students; • Continuing to work with new communities to open Cristo Rey schools; • Convening opportunities for Cristo Rey school leaders to share effective practices; • Building an active, growing network of supporters of Cristo Rey in business, government, the church, philanthropy and education; • Supporting existing Cristo Rey schools by assisting in the development of financial sustainability which relies primarily on revenue from the corporate work study program to fund school operations.

letter from chairman of the board and ceo School-year 2010-2011 marked the tenth anniversary of the Cristo Rey Network. Originally formed to replicate Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago, our purpose today expands much wider - to provide critical start-up and support services to member schools. The pages here share the comprehensive initiatives being spearheaded by our team.
resurgence of the “school choice” movement when the Supreme Court handed down a decision allowing the use of tax credits to fund religious schools in Arizona. The court effectively mapped a route for choice-inclined state legislatures and provides an opportunity to address what President Obama calls “the civil rights issue of our generation” - the unyieldingachievement gap between poor students and wealthier students.
Ten years ago, the Cristo Rey Network took up the challenge to educate children “left behind.” Rejuvenating the traditional urban Catholic education mission, Cristo Rey has been a change-agent in the education reform movement. Like the best charter school organizations, our schools take responsibility for results. Cristo Rey schools champion quality, transparency and accountability for student performance - a fair exchange for public trust. The Cristo Rey Network sets high standards and supports curriculum, professional development, graduate support and academic progress. A partnership with the National Student Clearinghouse, for example, provides a reliable source of data on students’ educational paths and success after high school graduation.
Our greatest appreciation goes to our partners, benefactors, and advocates. Your commitment to our work has made possible the Cristo Rey Network’s record of success in teaching low-income youth. Therefore, we are dedicating this Annual Report to a decade of innovation, commemorating our past as well as envisioning our future.
When we reflect on the past decade, it is exciting to note that this Spring marked a tipping point in the 4
Sincerely in Cristo Rey,
Rev. Joseph Parkes, S.J. Chairman of the Board
Robert J. Birdsell President and CEO
letter from chairman emeritus Thank you for reading our Annual Report. It is a part of the story about how God is working in our world today. Year after year, we look back on it and realize there simply is no other explanation. The fact is that our schools continue to flourish, that the jobs are there in spite of very difficult economic times, that enthusiastic and competent people continue to come from out of nowhere to be part of our movement and that our students continue to enroll in colleges and universities that will prepare them for a future they never dreamed possible. You are reading the history of how the Kingdom of God is being brought about in our world today. Thank you for helping us to make it possible. Recently, I participated in a panel discussion with the title “Learning from Game Changers,” which was held at the beginning of November in Qatar. Only ten years ago we started our first replication of the school in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood and now they are calling us “game changers.” I think that title is another way of referring to the grace of God because that is the only way to explain what is happening. Christ our King has given us a gift that is doing nothing less than changing the game of education. Last year we had 6,500 students who earned $32 million dollars in that year alone to pay for their own secondary education. How students grow and get excited about life
because of their Cristo Rey experience is a perfect description of what God’s grace does for us. Again, thank you for being part of this movement. Thank you for making it possible for us to make this gift available to those who need it most. In Cristo Rey,
John P. Foley, S.J. Chairman Emeritus and Chief Mission Officer

words from our students and school leaders
Dwight Olive | Cristo Rey Brooklyn High School, Class of 2012 “Cristo Rey is outstanding! I have been challenged and encouraged to work harder and pushed to excel academically and at work. My confidence has grown! I know that I have the right foundation and will succeed in college and beyond.” Dwight plans on attending a four year college where he can study Humanities and possibly prepare for a career in Sports Medicine. He is currently considering five colleges within the tri-state area.
Yadira Vieyra | ‘11 Graduate of Georgetown University, ‘07 Graduate of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, Chicago “I am grateful for all of the support Cristo Rey has offered me. Even though I graduated four years ago, I have maintained long lasting friendships with my Cristo Rey mentors. It is invaluable to know that you belong to a family that cares for you on numerous levels, not just an academic or professional level. “Cristo Rey is changing lives. It is not just students going off to college, but families going off to college as well.”
Marilyn Weleck | Teacher at San Miguel Cristo Rey High School in Tucson, Arizona “I have watched my fellow teachers at San Miguel Cristo Rey High School open themselves to the power of working collectively with their colleagues in the Cristo Rey Network. From debating and designing college-ready curriculum, to writing unit plans and exchanging instructional strategies, we each come away with the knowledge that we are supported, and held accountable, by a true network of like-minded educators. Even though, as a network, we have much work ahead, my students and I have felt a shift in direction of the Cristo Rey Network due to the Educational Enrichment Initiative. Because the Initiative originates and is sustained within the Cristo Rey Network, it will continue be a uniting and motivating force in our goal for every student to graduate from college.”
Dan O’Connell | Principal, Verbum Dei High School, Los Angeles “It may seem counterintuitive that innovation can blossom from an educational philosophy that’s over 450 years old. At Verbum Dei, we take an Ignatian approach to innovation, following educational principles established by St. Ignatius nearly five centuries ago. We are constantly looking at data and research, collaborating with colleagues, and willing to experiment with our own ideas because it’s clear that the same old way of doing things just doesn’t work in 21st century urban education. I am deeply grateful to the Cristo Rey Network for providing the resources, support, and encouragement to implement this Ignatian vision of innovation. The results are transforming the young men of South Los Angeles.” Erick Soderberg | Associate Vice President of the Corporate Work Study Program and Director of Operational Funding, Christ the King Jesuit College Preparatory School, Chicago “Growing up on the West Side of Chicago, I am keenly aware of the challenges our students face on a daily basis. Before working at Christ the King, I built my career in banking from the ground up and considered myself somewhat of an innovator. It was not until I began working consistently with urban youth that I realized an innovative solution was needed to solve major problems within our school system. To put it in business terms, the Cristo Rey Network is like the franchisor of this innovation and every school in the Network is a franchisee that benefits from their expertise and guidance. It is an honor to be associated with the Cristo Rey Network, because here at Christ the King we live this innovation everyday by being a school that works!” Sr. Eileen Enright | President, Cristo Rey Sacramento High School “Cristo Rey schools are all about students and community as evidenced by the spirit of collaboration, commitment and caring on the part of all involved. I see a Cristo Rey school as a “community school” where key partners come together for the common good and well-being of our students and their families. Yes, it is Christian service in action, blessed by abundant hope, faith and prayers. The Cristo Rey model captures all that is essential to inspiring the next generation: responsibility, motivation, hope for a better future and an abiding sense of their own dignity and potential – in a word – LOVE.”
student learning Less than one in ten low-income students beginning high school completes a postsecondary degree by age 24. 1 On average, Cristo Rey students arrive in ninth grade approximately two grade levels behind academically because, through no fault of their own, they typically have not had access to high quality education in grades K-8. In many cases, our schools must target six or seven years of learning gains during four years of high school. To ensure that every Cristo Rey student graduates from high school prepared for success in college, the Cristo Rey Network supports schools in the areas of college-ready curriculum and assessment, teacher effectiveness, and principal leadership. Bolstered with support from the New York Life Foundation, Best Buy Children’s Foundation, The Gates Foundation, The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, and Louis Calder Foundation, the Educational Enrichment Initiative has facilitated the development of a rigorous, college-ready curriculum supported by engaging, evidence-based instructional strategies to increase student achievement. The bar has been raised for Cristo Rey students through engagement in a common, rigorous curriculum. Designed as a multi-year initiative, 19 schools are now implementing this standards-based curriculum. This initiative is bringing to the most at-risk and vulnerable youth in America the quality educational 10 | Photo right: Cristo Rey Boston High School
opportunity that is often accessible to only privileged American students. Implementing a standards-based curriculum comprises only one element of this complex work. The second esssential element is teacher effectiveness, with a focus on evidence-based instructional strategies. The Cristo Rey Network supports a variety of professional development options to provide school teams with the knowledge and skills to implement school-wide, year-long professional learning supports aimed at building professional capacity and increasing student achievement. Professional growth focuses on the design of curriculum-aligned unit plans, including assessments which inform instruction; teaching and assessing literacy across all disciplines; and consistently employing evidence-based instructional practices with a high probability of increasing student achievement. These efforts, led by a skillful principal leader at each school, will prepare our students for success in college and beyond. 1 Carnevale,
Anthony. “Views: College Is Still Worth It - Inside Higher Ed.” Inside Higher Ed. Web. 14 Jan. 2011.
With a two-year, $200,000 investment in the Educational Enrichment Initiative, New York Life Foundation’s support has made possible the curriculum design and implementation work that has benefitted many more of our schools now implementing our shared curriculum. “We are pleased to help the Cristo Rey Network enhance their educational offerings to make the high school/college prep experience even more successful for disadvantaged youth. As an employer of Cristo Rey students, we are proud to support an innovative model that merges education and business and prepares inner-city, low-income youth to achieve success in high school, college and beyond.” Chris Park President, New York Life Foundation
corporate work study program Ten years ago, Cristo Rey Network students worked primarily at photocopying, filing or sorting mail, but these paperbased jobs are disappearing. In fact, outsourcing, technology and the weak economy are eliminating many entry level jobs around the country. How do we improve the Cristo Rey corporate work study program to address these long-term employment trends so that we can serve more students? Education

college initiatives High school and university leaders across the country continue to face significant challenges in the national effort to increase rates of college access and success for 21st century students – particularly low-income high school graduates. This is important because, according to research from Georgetown University, students completing a bachelor’s degree will earn $1 million more than their noncollege graduate counterparts during their lifetimes. To meet this challenge, in June 2010, the Cristo Rey Network received a planning grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, on behalf of a national network of high-performing Charter Management Organizations, to facilitate the development of resources to support college completion for low-income students. One of the major outcomes of this grant has been the development of a new, web-based alumni tracking and support program. Launched in July 2011, the Alumni Connect platform enables school and Network leaders to review data on its alumni as well as begin to offer new levels of support to graduates as they transition to college. The Cristo Rey Network is excited to pioneer this new approach to alumni support in its effort to build college success for all its students. The Network’s Director of College Initiatives works with Cristo Rey

schools to implement the Alumni Connect platform and engage recent alumni through the platform’s Facebook Application. Moreover, the Director supports member schools with the hiring and training of Alumni Support Advisors to help them maximize their use of the tool. By 2015, the Cristo Rey Network expects to graduate more than 1,500 alumni annually from its high schools. This new tool will provide a means for not only better assessing the future college enrollment, persistence, and completion rates of these graduates, but also a cost-effective measure for accompanying alumni on their journey towards their degree.

historical 1993 To further determine how
the Jesuits might best respond to the needs of the Pilsen community, Fr. Bradley Schaeffer, S.J., the Provincial of the Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus, invited newly-ordained Fr. James Gartland, S.J. to conduct a needs assessment study. When all of this input was sifted through several reports, committees, and policy boards, the final recommendation was to establish a new Jesuit-sponsored college preparatory high school in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago.
2004 Six new schools opened:
- St. Martin de Porres High School, Cleveland; - Cristo Rey New York High School; - San Miguel High School, Tucson; - Cristo Rey Boston High School; - St. Martin de Porres High School, Waukegan; - Notre Dame High School, Lawrence
Fr. Foley resigned as President of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in June and became the new President of the Cristo Rey Network.

1998
1996
Fr. Schaeffer announced that he was assigning Fr. John P. Foley, S.J., a veteran educator with 30 years of school leadership experience in Peru, as the founding president of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School. With Fr. Schaeffer’s assistance, Fr. Foley also assembled inaugural members of Cristo Rey’s Board of Trustees. After an incredible amount of dedication and hard work, the school welcomed approximately 100 sophomores and juniors for classes on Sept. 5th.
2006
Cristo Rey Kansas City High School and Cristo Rey High School, Sacramento opened.
The international Christian Brothers meeting in Rome challenged members worldwide to find creative ways to serve the poor. Later that year, as a guest speaker at the annual education conference of the U.S. Christian Brothers schools held in Chicago, Fr. Foley challenged the Brothers to replicate what was happening in Chicago.
2000
The Network “office” was formed. BJ Cassin and his wife Bebe committed $12 million from the Cassin Educational Initiative Foundation to support the replication of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in other U.S. cities.
2007 A significant step forward for the Network took place in August as Robert
Birdsell, a proven leader with a strong background in Catholic school teaching and educational research and consulting, was elected by the Board as the new President of the Network. Fr. Foley assumed the position of Executive Chair for the Network.
Six additional schools became part of the Cristo Rey movement: - Holy Family Cristo Rey High School, Birmingham; - Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, Baltimore; - Christ the King Preparatory High School, Newark; - Cristo Rey Jesuit High School - Twin Cities; - Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School, Washington, DC; - Providence Cristo Rey High School, Indianapolis
snapshot 2001 Christian Brothers were open, helpful, and humble in forming a new type
of school board with both business leaders and educators working together. De LaSalle North Catholic High School opened its doors. The school points with pride to being the second school within the new Cristo Rey Network. In addition, feasibility studies began in Cleveland, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, and Austin, TX.
2002
Verbum Dei High School in Los Angeles became a member of the Cristo Rey Network. Previously an Archdiocesan high school, it re-invented itself as a Cristo Rey school and formally re-opened in September.
The first formal meeting of the Cristo Rey Network took place at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago. Invited to the meeting were the six approved groups who were conducting feasibility studies funded by the Cassin Educational Initiative Foundation. This meeting marked the adoption of the Cristo Rey trademark: “Cristo Rey Network Schools: Transforming Urban America One Student at a Time.”
2008
2003
In January, the first Mission Effectiveness Standards were approved. IRS granted non-profit status to the Cristo Rey Network in March 2003. Then, in May, the Gates Foundation formally committed $9.9 million to continue replication of new schools. Arrupe Jesuit High School in Denver opened in September. Jeff Thielman from the Cassin Educational Initiative Foundation coordinated the first series of collegial visits to the original schools.
2009
2011
In the aftermath of consulting with the Bridgespan Group, the Cristo Rey Network made a strategic shift from growth of new schools to quality of academics to ensure that every Cristo Rey graduate is “collegeready.”
The Cristo Rey Network launched the Educational Enrichment Initiative, an ambitious long term plan to set clear college-ready standards for all students, as well as provide tools for teachers to help students achieve these standards.
DePaul Cristo Rey High School in Cincinnati opened its doors as a member of the Cristo Rey Network.
The Cristo Rey Network hosted its first Leadership Academy at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management to serve the needs of current and future Cristo Rey school leaders.
Three new schools opened: - Christ the King Jesuit College Prep, Chicago; - Cristo Rey Brooklyn High School; - Detroit Cristo Rey High School
Fr. Joe Parkes, S.J. was elected the new Chair of the Cristo Rey Network Board and Fr. John Foley, S.J. became Chair Emeritus and Chief Mission Officer.
Two new schools opened: - Immaculate Conception Academy, San Francisco - Cristo Rey Jesuit College Preparatory High School of Houston
