In Oakland, seniors from Cristo Rey de la Salle East Bay High School celebrated their college acceptances, marking a significant milestone in their lives and for their families. The event highlighted the personal achievements of first-generation college students like Belen Islas and Da'Miyon Hardiman, who expressed pride in breaking familial educational barriers. Their successes are supported by a robust mentorship program and a unique corporate work-study initiative that prepares each student for further education and future opportunities. By securing a place in a four-year university, these students aim to elevate their families' prospects and inspire future generations.
Shouting from the podium where they will be going to college was about changing the course of their families.
For four years, every student that's graduated from Cristo Rey de la Salle High School has been accepted to a four-year university, all applying to at least 10 universities.
