New Catholic High School to Open in Takoma Park
posted 6:35 am Thu August 23, 2007 - Takoma Park, MD.
The school is a partnership between the archdiocese and the nonprofit Cristo Rey Network.
The network was founded in 2001 to help low-income families receive a Catholic education.
The school is the 19th in the network, which now serves 4,400 students.
Another is opening in Baltimore.
The program puts students in the classroom four days a week and at a local business for one day in a job share arrangement.
Businesses pay a nonprofit internship corporation for the students' work, with the money covering most tuition costs.
The Takoma Park school will open Monday with a freshman class of 127.

I think this is a super idea. More young people should work while they are in school.
