Emilio is a senior at Cristo Rey with a love for art and design. After teaching himself about 3D design during quarantine, Emilio wanted to share his passion with other students at Cristo Rey. With the support of several faculty and staff members, the 3D Modeling Club at Cristo Rey was formed. The new club's members - at one point 24! - have been meeting since September.
In this Cristo Rey Q&A, junior Camila V. asks Emilio about starting the club, teaching other students, and trying new things. What inspired you to start the 3D Modeling club at Cristo Rey? My own interest and passion for 3D printing and art inspired me to start the club. Since it can be hard to find likeminded people who share the interest, I wanted to promote art and STEM to my classmates.

Cristo Rey Jesuit High School provides a Catholic, college preparatory education and professional work experience to students from Spanish-speaking families with limited financial means. The reason for the school's existence is to advance the human and intellectual capacities, as well as the religious and cultural heritage, of the immigrant families it serves.
Cristo Rey Jesuit High School was founded by the Midwest Jesuits in 1996 to serve the immigrant Latino community of Pilsen and Little Village on the near Southwest side of Chicago. Our school pioneered the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) model for inner-city education that has inspired a national network of 38 schools serving low-income communities across the country.
Cristo Rey's Service Program provides students with opportunities to engage in activities to live out their vocation as "men and women for others." Through the program, we seek to be a resource to the community by sharing our greatest of resources - our students.
Through opportunities for education, direction action, reflection and advocacy, students will make progress toward the goals established by the Grad at Grad statement and grow in commitment to a faith that does justice.

Cristo Rey's continuity of excellence is made possible through the generous support to our Annual Fund by so many members of our Cristo Rey Jesuit community. The Annual Fund supports all aspects of our school: tuition assistance, professional development, academic programs, co-curricular activities, and facility upgrades.

When I was a student there the school provided no AP instruction, no ACT/SAT prep, and, with the exception of math and English, no honors courses. The lack of honors courses made class very repetitive and unchallenging at times. There was also a great deal of favoritism. Certain students were given extreme privileges while others were denied titles, awards, or positions they had rightfully earned. The title of valedictorian for example, was not solely given to the person with the highest GPA, active involvement in school activities, college credits, and independent research. It was instead

In retrospect, as an alumnus, not a bad place to go to High School. I learned many life lessons here, learned how to play guitar in their basement, met some great life long friends and got big push into college.
The Jesuits are powerful people and have expanded their unique high school model nation-wide!
