Cristo Rey Partnership Flourishes
July 5, 2009
Georgetown is strengthening its ties, both nationally and locally, with Cristo Rey schools in an effort to help more underserved students reach and succeed at college.
The national Cristo Rey Network is a group of 22 Catholic, college preparatory high schools that prepare economically disadvantaged students for post-secondary school options to enroll in college.
For the past six years, Georgetown has cultivated a close relationship with the national Cristo Rey Network, which was founded by the Rev. John Foley, S.J., who attended the university in the 1950s before joining the Society of Jesus. Georgetown is recognized as a founding university partner of the Cristo Rey Network.
