2025 IMPACT REPORT

GROWING IN MISSION

FROM THE PRESIDENT & PRINCIPAL

Dear Friends of Gesu School,

At Gesu School, our mission drives all that we do. Co-directed by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) and the Jesuits, we empower our 400 students to transcend all forms of poverty through holistic, innovative education We nurture our students to develop their strengths, overcome challenges, and become positive, engaged members of the community

Our teachers and staff are exceptionally dedicated to our Catholic principles of social justice, faith, creative hope, and love And we accompany our students as they grow

In fiscal year 2025, the average annual income of a Gesu family of four was $45,609 Many of our students confront the significant challenges that ensue from living in poverty, such as trauma from exposure to violence in their neighborhoods, or health-related issues like hunger or asthma

To address these challenges, a Gesu education encompasses care for the whole person In addition to rigorous academics for remedial through advanced learners, we provide comprehensive resources to meet our students’ needs:

Robust social work and counseling services, nurse, and nutrition programs

Soft skills curriculum that teaches grit, empathy, and self-esteem

After-school enrichment that delivers a safe space, homework help, and experiences such as theater, sports, and crochet club

Graduate Support Program that offers resources through high school, college, and professional life

Peace and blessings,

Bryan Carter President and CEO

Alana D. Lee Principal

To provide these essential resources, Gesu relies on the support of donors Each year, we fundraise nearly 75% of our operating budget, including critical scholarships, for our students to maximize their potential

We thank our entire community, who make a Gesu education possible Your generosity, care, and time impact students each day.

We dedicate this piece in memory of our beloved Founding Principal, Sister Ellen Convey, IHM, whose leadership and love have transformed thousands of lives

P.S. We welcome you to see Gesu in action. To arrange a tour, contact the development team at 215-763-9077 or development@gesuschool.org.

Her career goals include graduate school and a leadership role in the cosmetic industry, where she plans to “make an impact and be a representation for women and girls, especially for women of color, who’ve often been neglected in that space And be the bridge for consumers in understanding science and the cosmetic industry”

“My success as a young woman stems from a combination of a lot of things: my family, being in spaces like Gesu from a young age, and my faith and relationship with God. It started as early as Pre-K. It’s important to surround yourself with a community that uplifts you Gesu has cultivated that space for me Looking around the building, you see murals of Black excellence I had Black teachers, and those role models and that foundation were really important It has always been instilled in me to reach for my best potential because I was surrounded by positive examples and taught about leaders in history who look like me who accomplished the impossible ”

During his Gesu years from 3rd - 8th grade, Denzell began to develop his lifelong pursuit of creativity. He participated in Gesu’s Writers’ Jam talent show and the gospel choir. He continues to enjoy hobbies in breakdancing, music, and drawing His Advanced Writing class at Gesu sparked his interest in storytelling and ultimately laid a foundation for his professional path in communications

Denzell credits his father for sending him to Gesu, which he describes as “the best chance for me to be what I define as successful,” a Catholic school that was the “right place ” And Denzell acknowledges that his Gesu community shaped his leadership skills, his confidence, and his interest in the arts and politics Through Gesu’s Graduate Support Program, he networked to earn an internship with State Representative Donna Bullock This experience impacted the course of his career, leading directly to his current role at the World Trade Center

He notes, “Even the small things Sister Ellen encouraging me to apply to the Prep and connecting me with a mentor, teachers pushing me into academic competitions helped me see potential in myself that I didn’t always recognize Gesu was the first place that showed me I belonged in spaces I never imagined for myself” Today, Denzell is a leader in his field and in his community at just age 26

“Gesu gave me the space to both excel and fail forward, which was something I never experienced in public school It was the first time I had to study, the first time I earned (and actually earned) second honors, and the first time I felt academically challenged in a way that pushed me to grow It also mattered that so many of my teachers were people of color I didn’t realize it back then, but having adults who looked like me call me a ‘gentleman and scholar’ shaped how I saw myself and what I believed I could do

Gesu is where I fell in love with social studies, which eventually led me to political science and now to my career in global work It’s also where I deepened my faith.”

STUDENT GALLERY

Student Poetry

You Are Beautiful

By Laila, 6th Grade

You are beautiful

Whether you think you are or not

Your personality, your style, the way you smile

You are beautiful.

Your laugh is delightful

Your stride is prideful

Your Voice is powerful

You are beautiful.

Your curls shine like pearls

Your melanin is smooth as dark chocolate,

With a pinch of sweetness.

You are confident

Never afraid to be seen

You are that way because

You are a Black Queen.

The curl of your words are unique

Your beauty has reached the expectation’s peak

You are perfect the way you are

Everyone knows you are a star

Don't let anyone tear you apart

You are beautiful.
