ICA Cristo Rey Academy

Our seniors walked out of ICA’s doors one last time and headed to their Baccalaureate Mass! 🌹

At St. James Catholic Church, we celebrated and looked back on what the Class of 2026 has achieved and will continue to accomplish as they head off to college. Seniors, never forget to keep setting the world on fire. ❤️‍🔥

Thank you to our families, friends, staff, and faculty for joining together to celebrate our graduates. ✨

On the last day of school we celebrated Class Day as a community! 🫂

Class Day is an ICA tradition where every grade moves up throughout the auditorium, signaling that they’ve officially completed the school year.

The frosh presented their class song and the sophomores presented their class banner. 🎵🎨

This was also a time where our Spartans got to say a final goodbye to the seniors. The seniors left each class a parting gift and sang their class song one last time before the curtain closed. 🎓

We loved having you all together one last time, have a great and restful summer! ☀️

Meet Adriana P. '26, a shining example of what happens when hard work meets opportunity! ✨🎓

During her four years at ICA Cristo Rey, Adriana completely transformed how she viewed her own potential. She dove into campus ministry, joined the Spartan Sparks, and gained invaluable real-world experience—including a memorable work study placement at Capital Group working alongside women in leadership.

Now, after earning admission to 14 different colleges and universities, Adriana is officially headed to the University of San Francisco this fall to study management! 💙

As Adriana beautifully puts it: “By pursuing higher education, I serve the current and future ICA community as a reminder that every Spartan can accomplish their educational goals no matter what financial, academic, or personal challenges they may face.”

Your support makes stories like Adriana's possible. Please consider making a gift to our Annual Fund today to help pave the way for the next generation of leaders.

Congratulations on completing your last week of work, Spartans! You’ve all made great contributions to your job placements throughout the year and we could not have done it without our great partners and supervisors. ✨

We’d like to shout out our Student Associates at Sutter Health’s Mills-Peninsula Medical Center for showcasing the amazing work they’ve contributed and what they’ve learned throughout the year. 🩺 Thank you to our supervisors for continuing to open new opportunities!

To our seniors: Thank you for all of the amazing work you’ve contributed over the past four years, we hope these experiences have helped you develop your skills and further your career. Thank you to our teachers and staff that came to cheer on our seniors on their last work day. 💙

In our second installment of the Supervisor Hall of Fame, we would like to introduce Leanne Vanderbyl who is Northwest Regional Resource Director at Gensler. 🌟

At ICA Cristo Rey Academy we strive to provide our students with rewarding work experiences, and we wouldn’t do it without the collaboration of our amazing partners and supervisors.

At Gensler San Francisco, Student Associates are excited about being able to help wherever needed. They are able to bring enthusiasm and eagerness to the Gensler community! 🏛️

Leanne Vanderbyl says, “Working with these exceptionally bright young women brings fresh, generational perspectives into our office; I learn from the students just as much as they learn from me!”

Thank you for all you do as a supervisor and for incorporating the perspectives of your Student Associates into the great work you do every day. 👏
