Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School

Ready for the next step! CRAJHS juniors, sophomores, and freshmen attended our 7th Annual College Fair where they had the opportunity to meet college reps, ask questions, and start charting a course for their futures. Kudos to our College Counseling team for giving our students the opportunity to become comfortable speaking to college reps, understanding the competitive nature of college admissions, and learning about summer programs offered by the institutions. It’s never too early to start the process!

Thank you to panelists Xavier McKenzie, Morehouse College ; Jordan Wright- Howard University; McKayla Bohannon, Georgia Tech; Juwan Andrews, Texas A&M University; Jillian Bolak, Georgia College & State University; and
Andrew Morrison, The University of Alabama who discussed the admissions process and fielded questions. Thank you for attending the CRAJHS College Fair!

Leadership, resilience, and relationships—keys to success on and off the field! CRAJHS President, Camille Naughton, and Director of Corporate Work Study, Najgee Gatson, had the opportunity to attend the Metro Atlanta Chamber's Delta Air Lines Insights on Leadership event this week. Atlanta Falcons' Ring of Honor Quarterback Matt Ryan and AMB Sports & Entertainment CEO Rich McKay shared their perspectives on leadership and preparing for critical moments.

During the event, Mr. Gatson asked Matt Ryan about the importance of building relationships with 53 different leaders in the locker room. His response? 💡 “You have to meet each person where they are.”

Just as in football, leadership is about understanding your team, meeting them where they are, and working toward a shared goal. An inspiring takeaway for our Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit community! 🙌

What an inspiring morning at Coffee with Cristo Rey! We were honored to welcome Enzo Piscopo, President and CEO of United Spinal Association, as our featured speaker, who shared his incredible journey of resilience, leadership, and purpose.

Thank you, Enzo, for an unforgettable conversation and for inspiring our community to continue making an impact! 💙

Ms. Muñoz’s Biology classes swabbed surfaces around CRAJHS and grew bacteria cultures to uncover what’s lurking on everyday surfaces. The results? A fascinating look at the microscopic world around us — and a great reminder to wash our hands!🦠🔬
