Strake Jesuit Alums help Cristo Rey for Br. Casey Service Project
Strake Jesuit Alumni are "Men for Others" for Br. Casey Service Project
Alumni from Strake Jesuit, as well as current students (future alumni) came to Cristo Rey Jesuit on April 18th for the "Brother Casey Saturday PH Alumni Community Service Project". Alums from across Houston came to Cristo Rey to paint, move furniture, and clean windows. The inclement weather didn't dampen the good cheer, with a very large turnout of Jesuit alumni coming to help Houston's newest Jesuit school open its doors. Any visitor who had been here before the project, and then again after the project would be amazed at the difference. We now have furniture in classrooms, and the cafeteria looks fantastic! We at Cristo Rey are so thankful for our fellow Jesuit alums living out the Jesuit calling of "Men for Others".

Cristo Rey Jesuit Begins Student Interviews
The Dream Begins: Cristo Rey Jesuit Begins Class of 2013 Selection Process
Prospective students and their families arrived early Friday morning at the newly renovated administrative wing of Cristo Rey Jesuit to undergo interviews as the final step towards being considered for the founding class of the school. While somewhat shy upon crossing the threshold of the 84,000 square foot facility currently under renovation, the students were also very excited about the possibility of going to a high school that would prepare them for college and includes a corporate work-study component as part of the program. The children and their parents were interviewed by various members of the Cristo Rey Jesuit senior staff, who were excited to finally meet the potential Class of 2013. The interviewers were impressed by students' willingness to work hard if given the opportunity to succeed. The school will continue to take applications and conduct interviews throughout the Spring.
