ENSURING COLLEGE READINESS
Cristo Rey student academic growth is achieved through high-quality instruction and extraordinary school leadership demonstrated across our school communities. These essential elements to learning are fostered through sustained, year-round community building and professional development programs offered for Cristo Rey academic leaders and teachers.
Through lead philanthropic investments from The Howley Foundation and the Hearst Foundations, the Leading and Learning Team collaborates with expert facilitators to deliver job-embedded, new learning that builds the capacity and strengthens the retention of our faculty and staff.
I became aware of my default to want to simplify concepts for the sake of explaining rather than allowing space for amplifying meaning through multiple ways to access concepts. I realized how engaging and fun a math classroom can be utilizing Math Language Routines! Teacher

Accelerating Literacy Across the Curriculum
In partnership with ThinkCERCA, participating schools’ English Language Arts (ELA) and Social Studies teachers engaged in training to ensure students access grade-level appropriate curriculum that encourages critical and creative thinking across genres. Growth metrics include:
● ThinkCERCA evidence-based writing scores climbed 20%, and multiple-choice scores rose about 4%—indicating an exciting increase in student proficiency levels.
● Network-wide AP ELA pass rates nearly doubled, climbing from 24% to 45%, even as students collectively took 182 more exams. Social Studies saw a 4% pass-rate gain alongside 217 additional exams—a clear sign that engaging Social Studies teachers in our literacy program is driving an impact.
Putting Math Education to Work
Guided by the Silicon Valley Math Initiative (SVMI), students had the opportunity to collaborate in a way that propelled their mathematical learning through increased emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking. Teachers received ongoing professional development to enhance the quality of instruction in the classroom, which increased student perceptions of math by 4% and:
● Network-wide AP math pass rates rose from 19% to 27%, with 265 more math exams completed. AP science pass rates grew from 10% to 22%, with 77 more tests taken.
Principal Fellows Program
Our Principal Fellowship promotes the development of aspiring school leaders within the Network to ensure a robust pipeline of skilled principals for the movement’s future. Generously supported by a lead investment from The Howley Foundation, five Principal Fellows are engaged in two-years of workshops, coaching, and webinars. Principal Fellow Deonté Green was selected as Cristo Rey Miami High School’s principal after just one year in the program. VIDEO SPOTLIGHT: WATCH DEONTÉ’S TESTIMONY OF IMPACT

PREPARING OUR FUTURE WORKFORCE, TODAY

We remain grateful to our corporate and donor communities for their belief in our students’ potential and for their generous investments that catalyze our innovation.
Corporate Work Study Modernization Project
Through the continuation of our Corporate Work Study Modernization efforts, we are crafting a future-focused framework that addresses the realities of a shifting workforce landscape while elevating the training and support offered to our student associates and their job placement supervisors.

FAITH FORMATION
Guided by the collaboration of 34 Religious Sponsoring groups, Cristo Rey schools uphold and advance the finest traditions of Catholic education. Each sponsor ensures that its local school remains true to Catholic identity and mission, aligned with the religious charism of the sponsor, and governed within a Catholic school framework. Religious communities are responsible for cultivating a school culture that reflects the ethical principles of the Catholic Church, the tenets of the Cristo Rey Spirituality document, and the Cristo Rey Network Mission Effectiveness Standards—while also welcoming students from other faith traditions.

REFLECTIONS FROM OUR CHIEF MISSION OFFICER
I have been reflecting on the Gospel accounts of Jesus healing the man who was paralytic.
In many ways, this story is our Cristo Rey story. Like the paralytic, our friends and family carry us to Jesus. Our parents promise to raise us according to the teachings of Jesus, and, along with our teachers, they help us to see Jesus, to know Jesus, and to hear Jesus say “pick up your mat and walk with me.”
Our Cristo Rey schools are tools of evangelization, places where we all come to see Jesus, know Jesus, and walk with Jesus. Through academic excellence and rigor, our students come to know they are made in God’s image, sacred, and therefore deserving of the best. In the pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness, our students realize their ultimate hunger and thirst for God. They discover the dignity of work, the right to work in safe conditions, and receive a just wage. Through our Corporate Work Program, our students gain access to the social capital that opens doors for a better future for themselves and their families. With prayer and service, they realize that they are loved and blessed by God. They are eager to return these blessings in service with others in the pursuit of God’s dream of a world of love, peace, and justice. College ready, work experienced, and formed as Christian leaders, our students graduate knowing they can walk with dignity as God’s children.
As we move forward in this academic year and welcome new students and their families to Cristo Rey, may we thank God for the blessing of our schools. We thank God for the generosity of all of you who help bring our students to Jesus. May God bless all of you, and may God bless the Cristo Rey Network.
¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Jim Gartland, SJ Chief Mission Officer
2024-2025 SCHOOL GRANTS
Thanks to the generous Cristo Rey Network donor community, the national office offered intentional, high impact grants and direct service programs to advance progress and outcomes of our school communities locally and nationally. Designed in partnership with donors and informed by school-identified priorities, the national office dispersed nearly $2 million to schools in 2024-2025.
The following initiatives were implemented to elevate the performance and outcomes of schools and students over the last year:
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
Accelerating Literacy Across the Curriculum
Generously funded by The Howley Foundation
Direct service grant awarded to 4 schools to establish Cohort D
In partnership with ThinkCERCA, Accelerating Literacy Across the Curriculum continues to provide professional development and coaching to teachers at schools in reading and writing.

The program developed the capacity of school leaders to perform at the highest levels in order to achieve our shared mission.
Thanks to [this] generous funding, families were able to access much-needed support for their children's family contribution, easing financial burdens and opening doors to quality education. This assistance empowered parents to keep their children enrolled in school without interruption, fostering academic stability and personal growth. Many students who once faced uncertainty about their educational futures are now thriving, confident, and motivated to succeed.
