Through CIP, the school’s 273students contribute toward the cost of their education by working five full days each month in entry-level positions at one of 66 businesses and nonprofit organizations throughout Baltimore.

Last week, 26 Cristo Rey Jesuit teachers and administrators “shadowed” students in corporate offices throughout the Baltimore area, in the school’s first “Take Your Teacher to Work Day.”

 

Jesuit Father John W. Swope, president of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, who worked at M&T Bank on Friday, under the guidance of junior, Allan Johnson, Jr. said, “Allan and other Cristo Rey Jesuit students who work at M&T Bank take on real responsibilities for projects. In doing so, they learn critical skills for work, college and life.”
