  • 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.
