The story at the link below is some of the best news that I have heard about education in the last year. It is the story of a group of inner-city Catholic schools called the Cristos Rey High Schools. They take marginal students from challenging circumstances and turn out college graduates at the rate of about 100%. They do this by a fascinating partnership with businesses in the community. As a Protestant, this article is a challenge. Why can’t we work like this? Why don’t more of us have a heart to see the children of the inner-city rescued from their circumstances? Anyway, this article will challenge you to think and it will warm your heart. Great job Cristos Rey!

Cristos Rey students work hard inside and outside the classroom
