Campus Visits with Cristo Rey Alumni
The Cristo Rey Atlanta mission is to not only get our students accepted into college but to support them through graduation from college - "To and Through". Our College and Alumni Success Coaches do an amazing job reaching out to and checking in with all of our alumni in college. They go the extra mile - literally - and visit students on campus, even if it means our resident Buckeye has to step foot on the Michigan campus! Check out photos from road trips that Ms. Alexis Johnson and Ms. Brianny Paulino made to visit students on their college campuses this fall.

JVC's Making a Difference at Cristo Rey
We are incredibly grateful to the Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC's) for placing volunteers with us every year since we opened our doors at Cristo Rey Atlanta. This year, we are fortunate to welcome two JVC's. Ms. Eleanor Johnson is from Portland, Oregon, and is a graduate of Gonzaga University. She is working with students in Professional Development in the Corporate Work Study department. Originally from Philadelphia, PA, Mr. Willem McGee is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross in Worchester, MA. Mr. McGee is working with Mr. Warren in the senior Capstone classes.
JVC's aspire to create a more just and hopeful world. They advocate for compassion, fair treatment, and structural change that addresses the root causes of injustice. We are grateful that Ms. Johnson and Mr. McGee have come to Cristo Rey Atlanta to be part of our community.
