LETTER FROM JASON

Although I am only a few months into my position as President of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, the impact of our mission, to unlock each student’s potential to help transform our community, is evident. I have had the opportunity to meet with many of the founding donors and corporate partners, our philanthropic supporters, students, parents, families, faculty, staff, community members, and more. Thank you for your support and passion for our mission.

In reflecting upon these encounters and the generosity of those who support Cristo Rey, I am continually struck by the transformational nature of connection. Pope Francis reminds us that “today’s problems call for a vision capable of taking into account every aspect.” This understanding of connection is one of the hallmarks of the Cristo Rey Jesuit High School experience. Our school community offers a pathway forward using the interconnectedness of high-quality education and an engaged workforce to make a difference.

Today, 100% of our students are back to work and their continued dedication to academic and professional success furthers Cristo Rey’s mission. While we are excited to share that all our students have a work-study placement, we still have many opportunities to expand placements with our corporate partners who offer paid placements. As we look to the future, Cristo Rey continues seeking support for initiatives that allow us to help students during their post-graduation years, to add and retain high-quality faculty and staff, and to enhance our campus, among others.

Thank you for sharing our commitment to interconnectedness and Cristo Rey. You ensure students have access to the resources they need which creates a lasting impact in their lives and in our community.

Sincerely, Jason Morrison President
