  • Impact Report
    Impact Report Autumn 2020 A Message From Our Board Chair When we started our 2019-2020 academic year, no one could have imagined the changes that would come in the months ahead; some were extraordinarily positive and others very challenging but all changed the face of Cristo Rey San José. In October of 2019, George and Judy Marcus made a donation of $10 million to Cristo Rey San José. This transformational gift created a new funding model for our school by establishing an endowment which will provide financial support in perpetuity and create permanency to our mission. In celebrating one of our most historic moments, another loomed ahead. By March of 2020, we had no choice but to close our doors and move to a virtual teaching and learning BRYAN POLSTER environment. Our Corporate Work Study Program also had to pivot with students working CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, remotely. Services needed for our students and their families were provided. Many of you CRISTO REY SAN JOSÉ walked along side and supported our Covid relief fund. CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD By June, it came time to graduate our third senior class in a very unique graduation ceremony OF PARTNERS, at the San Jose Giants Excite Ballpark. We were so proud to honor 99 seniors who join our FRANK, RIMERMAN + CO. LLP alumni ranks now totaling more than 300. We don’t know what lies ahead, except that we are committed to the explicit belief that every student has the potential in life to accomplish extraordinary things and Cristo Rey just gives them a unique platform to tap into their skill and potential to find their path and excel.

  • Settler Colonialism and the Making of the Lick Observatory, 1846-1919
    Excerpts from Noble Hills: Settler Colonialism and the Making of the Lick Observatory, 1846-1919 One Sunday afternoon in late August 1861, a reverend, a topographer, and a botanist, set out to summit the mountain. They had met nearly a decade earlier in upstate New York, where the botanist, William Brewer, was teaching in the town where the Reverend Laurentine Hamilton was a minister.1 When Brewer was recruited by the California Geological Survey at the turn of the 1860s, Hamilton had also moved to California to work as a preacher for a small mining town. The two men rekindled their friendship, and along with the topographer Charles and Hoffman, they set out to survey the mountain.2 As they made their way towards the summit, navigating through fields of brush, the Reverend Hamilton rushed ahead of the others and declared himself first to the top.3 As they returned to their office, Brewer and Hoffman debated what to name the mountain. Brewer made “diligent inquiries” into whether it had a previous name, but found none, and so they decided to name it Mount Hamilton in honor of their friend the minister who had beat them to the summit.4 It is Mount Hamilton on which the Lick Observatory was established in 1888, and still operates today. Of course, the mountain did have a name – possibly many—before Brewer, Hoffman, and Hamilton’s excursion. Spanish colonists had named it La Sierra de Santa Isabel decades before.5 But Brewer and Hoffman had treated the mountain as terra nullius – empty land – and assumed upon themselves the power to name it.
