2018 Impact Report

IMPACT REPORT 2018

Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School is an independent, affordable, Catholic, college preparatory high school for students of all faiths in grades 9-12 who cannot otherwise afford a private education.

Our mission is to nurture and challenge young women and men to recognize and realize their full potential as they grow to love God, respect others and serve their community.

Letter from the President December 6, 2018 Dear Members of the Cristo Rey Family, This report is packed with data that describes the impact of Cristo Rey. But every day, at Cristo Rey, we experience an impact that isn’t easily described by numbers.

A few early mornings ago, I was in my office, struggling to write this letter, when a student stopped in for a visit. Patrick is a regular visitor and we both enjoy an early morning chat, so I wasn’t surprised that he was interested to know what I was doing.

So, I asked Patrick to tell me about the impact that Cristo Rey has had on him, and here is what I learned…

Patrick hated middle school. He believes that he was physically and mentally bullied by other students because he was small, very smart, and looked different than the rest of his peers. He was told that he was worthless so regularly and for so long that he actually came to believe it himself. He learned to be ashamed of himself.

Patrick avoided social interaction and deliberately sabotaged his own academic progress so as to not draw attention to himself: “I was a blank slate…the kid in the corner. I kept to myself, on the computer. No one loved me and I certainly didn’t love myself.”

Patrick’s mother decided to send him to Cristo Rey. He was not involved in the decision and had no expectations.

In the first week of Prep for Success Bootcamp, Patrick (and every new freshman student) heard that he was now a member of the Cristo Rey family and that we loved him. He was flabbergasted…and skeptical!

Nevertheless, those unfamiliar assertions were reinforced by actual behaviors, and Patrick began to notice that students were buying in to this unusual culture. He risked reaching out to adults and to other students, and he liked the results: “I really enjoyed the safety of Cristo Rey.”

Today, Patrick is a Sophomore. He is a good student, a good worker and a good friend to others. He is curious and eager to learn. His interests and concerns are those of a typical teenager on some mornings (too much homework, “nasty” food in the cafeteria, girlfriends) and surprisingly mature on other mornings (career plans, current events, the future of Cristo Rey).

At the end of our conversation Patrick said: “Imagine what would happen if every kid in Philly could experience Cristo Rey. We would be all smiles …all flowers growing together in a beautiful garden.”

Cristo Rey is a family of people of all kinds, young and old, who learn and grow together; who help each other, depend on each other, and love each other. The impact of this culture is hard to measure, but it is easy to notice. And the impact on all of us is priceless!

We are grateful to include you in the Cristo Rey family.

Sincerely,

John R. McConnell Founder and President

In 2017, Cristo Rey Philadelphia piloted a STEM accelerator, project-based learning Engineering course, created and funded by the Deloitte Foundation and Base 11.

The Deloitte Foundation partnered with Base 11, a nonprofit workforce development and entrepreneur accelerator focused on expanding the STEM talent pipeline, to create a STEM accelerator course. Additionally, the Deloitte Foundation funded the installation of rapid proto-typing equipment, faculty training, and development of the curriculum at Cristo Rey Philadelphia.

The program provides innovative, hands-on, and experiential learning in engineering and computer sciences to foster student interest in STEM fields. Research shows that experiential learning helps retain students in challenging science and math courses that are the gateway to STEM degrees and careers.

From basic electronics to computer-aided design, students complete three projects throughout the full-year course. Each project focuses on a different area of engineering necessary for the capstone project – creating a fully operational drone. The course is the first high-school based program of its kind and will be used as the basis for similar 4 programs across the country.

“Zaire seemed very excited to work in the lab at Holy Redeemer Hospital. He listened during training and performed his work independently.

For Microbiology, Zaire, inoculated a variety of specimens to culture media, and then received those specimens into Microbiology via the computer. He was a self-starter and completed his work daily. He also listened to suggestions for improvement. He was a great help to the Microbiology and Pathology lab staff.”

Susan B. Doneson Holy Redeemer Hospital Laboratory Central Processing & Microbiology Supervisor

“While working at Holy Redeemer, I helped in the Microbiology lab with isolating plates, filing slides, delivering the outpatient mail, and making runs throughout the hospital. My favorite part was being able to experience working in an environment where you had to be very cautious and precise with certain things you did. It made me feel like a real scientist.”
