2010-2011 BOARD OF DIRECTORS

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

Terry Street Board Chair

A first graduation can only happen once. Cristo Rey High School Sacramento’s first graduating class made history this past spring, and it set the bar high – all 53 graduates were accepted to college.

Sr. Eileen Enright, RSM President

This inaugural class is a shining example of how Cristo Rey’s unique model truly makes us “The school that works.” The graduates accomplished a great deal, both inside and outside the classroom, balancing academics with professional work. These students accomplished more than their average cohorts – they left high school with diplomas and over a thousand hours of real-world work experience.

Patrice Coyle

This historic year would not have been possible without the cooperative support of the community. Students, families, school faculty and staff, employers, board members, volunteers and other community members came together to invest in Cristo Rey High School and its students.

Jeff Holden

On behalf of the Cristo Rey High School Board of Directors, I’d like to thank everyone who devoted their time, resources and energy to this unique effort. We value your support and know that because of all of you, there are bright futures ahead for our first graduates, and the future graduates of Cristo Rey High School.

WHAT IS CRISTO REY? Cristo Rey High School Sacramento is a Catholic college-preparatory, co-educational high school dedicated to the educational advancement of low-income youth from multi-ethnic- religious and-cultural backgrounds. In partnership with the Sisters of Mercy West Midwest Community, the California Province of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, and the California Province of the Society of Jesus, Cristo Rey embodies MERCY, GOODNESS, AND SERVICE – transforming lives now and for the future. All students participate in a unique work-study program where they learn professional work skills and generate income to offset the cost of their education.

CRISTO REY TODAY Cristo Rey currently serves approximately 240 students in grades 9-12 from Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, San Joaquin and El Dorado counties. The school is located in the south area of the city and is evenly divided by male and female students. This year, the ethnic representation is 88% Hispanic, 4% Multi-cultural, 3% Asian, 3% Caucasian and 2% African American.

“these students accomplished beyond what any of us could dream.” Ward W. Fansler, President

WARD FANSLER A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT A promise was made four years ago to provide a Catholic, college preparatory education with a unique work-study component to students of limited financial means. Thanks to the support and efforts of so many, that promise has been kept. To date, the greatest measure of our success is our first graduating class. This extraordinary group of students took a chance on Cristo Rey. Four years later, these students accomplished more than what any of us could dream: • 100% of our 53 seniors were accepted into college. • Almost half are attending four-year colleges, receiving nearly $2 million in financial aid; the other half are attending local community colleges. • 10% of our 2010 graduates are currently working part-time for their former Work-Study employers while attending college. The inaugural graduating class of 2010 has established an exciting legacy at Cristo Rey, and we are thrilled to see our first alumni begin their bright futures. Our work is just beginning. To build on the successful momentum of our first graduating class:

UPDATE For the first time in its five-year history, Cristo Rey High School will have a woman religious serving as its President. Sr. Eileen Enright, RSM, began her new role on January 3, 2011. As a member of the Sisters of Mercy, one of the co-sponsors of Cristo Rey, Sr. Eileen brings 40 years in church ministry and 25 years of education experience to Cristo Rey. "I am very grateful and enthusiastic that Cristo Rey High School will reach new heights and legacy status under her leadership and direction."

• We are now a school of 240 motivated, hardworking students, with the plan to reach 400 students within four years. • 93% of our students are in paying jobs, a significant increase from the 60% employed at the beginning of 2009. • As of November 2010, The Mercy Goodness Service Campaign has received more than $1.7 million in committed gifts. The purpose of the campaign is to provide funding that will enhance scholarships and curriculum and provide basic upgrades to our campus. • Our religious sponsors continue to significantly invest in Cristo Rey and to provide members of their congregations as school staff. Cristo Rey High School’s success is a result of the ongoing dedication of our students and their families, dedicated faculty and staff, supportive workstudy sponsors, a selfless Board of Directors, generous benefactors and our religious sponsors. This collaboration allows us to provide college access to students with limited options. We will continue to deliver that promise for generations to come.

WORK-STUDY How do you make private, college preparatory education affordable for high school students with limited financial means? Students offset a portion of their tuition by working for Cristo Rey High School Sacramento Work-Study, Inc., a 501(c)3 public charity. In addition to a rigorous academic schedule, Cristo Rey students work five days a month in a professional environment. The Work-Study program teaches students invaluable skills, lessons, and confidence in preparation for a successful future. Students interact with adults and gain confidence in themselves and in their abilities while working in industries as varied as law, healthcare, construction, finance and social services. Isabella (2011) states, “I feel that working throughout my high school years has matured me. I am so grateful from the bottom of my heart that CAL FIRE Academy has helped me pursue my future goals.” But it is not only the students who benefit from the Work-Study relationship. Work-Study sponsors agree that students make a positive imprint on corporate culture. Noelle DeBortoli of Western Health Advantage: “After unforeseen circumstances, Chris very admirably stepped up by answering phones, taking payments and handling walk in customers for over an hour all by himself. Chris handled himself in the most unbelievable way and refused to take any kind of extra kudos from staff." Learning the value of work has a tremendous impact on the students. Vanessa (2011) remembers her early days of work, “At first, I thought I was just doing tedious, time consuming tasks. However, through all the paper cuts, broken copy machines, toner spills and other tiring work, I began to discover that no job is too small. I learned so much working at Pacific Coast Companies. It was a very fulfilling experience and helped me learn how to interact in the workplace. I learned not to let people look down on me because I’m young.” To learn how you can sponsor students at your company please call David Brown, Work-Study Director, at 916.400.3386.

THE MERCY + GOODNESS + SERVICE

CAMPAIGN Cristo Rey is the only college preparatory school in Sacramento exclusively for students from limited financial means and is the perfect complement to the other outstanding catholic schools in our area. It is Cristo Rey’s goal that the cycle of poverty that challenges our students' lives will be broken as we help them re-imagine themselves as successful and productive leaders, who will benefit their families and our community at large. As Cristo Rey seeks permanency, we must grow financially to meet the educational needs of our students. In collaboration with our three sponsoring communities, Board of Directors, and Work-Study partners, we have identified three strategic goals we must meet.

1. ENHANCE THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE The strong curriculum will remain a core priority as Cristo Rey High School grows to an enrollment of 400 students. Cristo Rey’s overarching goal is to encourage, promote and facilitate the pursuit and completion of post-secondary education. Cristo Rey will provide a thorough and intellectually stimulating college preparatory high school education for all its students. We will: • Expand the offerings of the curriculum by introducing an intensive freshmen year experience which will provide students with an academic curriculum and professional skills training to ensure high performance their first year. • Dramatically increase scholarship support. • Upgrade technology by equipping classrooms with computers that could be integrated into the classroom experience and could assist in student training for work-study placements. • Secure public and private-sector work-study partners to provide meaningful employment.

2. CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS Cristo Rey is limited by the lack of classroom space available. Funding is needed to renovate and renew existing classrooms and add new academic spaces. Capital needs include: • Four general purpose classrooms • One science laboratory • Two locker rooms/bathrooms • Increased capacity to offer students adequate textbook resources • Three additional passenger vans to transport students to work-study jobs

3. FINANCIAL STABILITY Operational Needs – Cristo Rey High School seeks to create greater financial security through unrestricted funding of operational needs. Cristo Rey must operate at its full potential as enrollment grows and the academic program expands. School Endowment – Financially healthy secondary schools are defined by strong, long-term strategic planning. Endowing a portion of the school’s funding will allow for investment income to supplement the operating budget on an ongoing basis. Endowments would support increased financial aid, teacher salaries and benefits, and facilities management.

"Cristo Rey is more than a high school; it's an extended family providing a lifechanging experience to all who step onto our campus." Ward W. Fansler, President

"Cristo Rey is preparing me for my future." Carlos Perez, Senior

SENIOR PROFILE Carlos Perez, 2011 Carlos Perez sits in his British Literature class and dissects Beowulf with the eyes of a literary critic. His laugh is infectious and he has an easygoing nature that makes other students gravitate to him. It is hard to believe that by his own admission, if he weren’t attending Cristo Rey High School right now, weren’t in that classroom, he would be “gang banging and into drugs because it’s part of my neighborhood.” Instead, Carlos believes that Cristo Rey “takes away the pressure to behave badly and is preparing me for my future. I am learning to break bad habits as I become more responsible.” Carlos’ goal is to attend Sacramento State University to pursue his dream of becoming a radiologist. He believes the academic expectations at Cristo Rey “make you stronger than other students at other schools, and prepare you for what lies ahead.” Carlos also appreciates the work experience he is receiving as part of his education. “I learned how to do medical billing, and it wasn’t just busy work—it was actually learning the aspects of having that career.” Carlos also recognizes the significance of having a working relationship with employers. “You have to be serious at your job. If you make friends in high places, you can have these connections for a better future.” For Carlos, the future is the best one he can imagine. “Cristo Rey is preparing me for my future."

ALUMNI UPDATE

Christina Solis, 2010 Christina Solis is a member of the first graduating class of Cristo Rey High School and is now a freshman at Sacramento State University where she is studying Criminal Justice and learning how to balance work, school, life and homework as a college student. What surprises her most about this first year of college is the fact that her campus has so many resources and “It is not as hard as I thought it would be my first year.” Christina credits her high school education at Cristo Rey as being the preparation she needed to succeed in a college environment. “My classes during senior year, like English, were a bit difficult for me, but I learned a lot and they really helped me out for my classes now.” What is in front of Christina is the future and the accomplishments she hopes to achieve—like “having a successful career and buying my own house some day.” What her high school education at Cristo Rey provided was the opportunity to have choices, to make decisions and to achieve goals. “I see myself starting a new life in five years,” she says. She knows she can have any life she chooses now.

Christina Solis, Alumni, reflects on her first year at college: "It's not as hard as I thought it would be."
