FALCON FAMILY NEWS A MESSAGE FROM OUR ADMISSIONS DIRECTOR DEAR FAMILIES:
I love Club Rush! Each September, every one of our more than 50 student-run clubs sets up displays throughout campus while enthusiastic members encourage other students to join. Academic, service, cultural affinity, and social clubs compete for attention and work to attract members who share their interests and enthusiasm. Whether their passion is robotics, snowboarding, the environment, movies, or the art of grilling the perfect steak, there really is something for everyone. On the rare occasion that there isn’t, students are encouraged to create a club and share their interests and ideas with others. In this way, CB becomes the place to belong. This day, for me, highlights the joys of CB’s inclusive community and commitment to educating the whole person. Our dedicated faculty, administrators, and staff create an environment that allows every student to thrive. Students at CB are valued for exactly who they are and encouraged to find and foster their own unique God-given gifts. They are encouraged to share their gifts with others in the classroom, through clubs, Christian service, as athletes, artists, and members of the community. Today, CB remains the largest Catholic high school in the region with more than 1,100 students joining us from 75 zip codes and four countries. The academic programs are strong, with plans to continually evolve to meet the changing needs of our students. While many schools boast exclusivity, Christian Brothers High School boasts inclusivity. The most recent list from “Niche Rankings” identifies the Most Diverse Private High Schools in America. According to “Niche,” CB ranks number one locally and in the top 100 nationally based on ethnic, economic, and cultural diversity statistics and opinions from both students and parents. “Niche” describes a high ranking as an indication “that the school is extremely diverse and fosters a community that accepts and promotes a diversity of viewpoints, backgrounds, religious beliefs etc.
Over the past four weeks, the Admissions team visited more than 30 parochial and private schools. On these visits, we have been joined by our phenomenal Lasallian Student Ambassadors. Each day, I marvel at their kindness, intelligence, dedication, and enthusiasm as they share their love of CB while encouraging prospective students to attend Open House and schedule shadow visits. Each day, they affirm for me that there is no better place for young people as they prepare for success in college and life. As we prepare for Open House on Sunday, October 2, and our upcoming Shadow Days, you as CB parents and families are vital partners in telling our story. Prospective students and parents tell us that the positive stories shared with them by dedicated, enthusiastic CB parents, students, and alumni have inspired them to consider CB as they evaluate their high school options. Thank you to all the teachers, staff, students, parents, and families who help us to ensure that in its 147th year in Sacramento, Christian Brothers High School is still the place to be. Sincerely, Kristen McCarthy Director of Admissions
