In this episode, Enrollment Coordinator Dene Hummon interviews the leaders of St. Martin de Porres High School -  Principal Adam Trifiro and Corporate Work Study Program Coordinator Shameka Jones Taylor.  As Cleveland's only Cristo Rey school, they explain what a Cristo Rey School is and the way they implement the pillars of  "Work, Study, Serve, Lead, and Pray" with their students.  They eloquently witness the way that the  Corporate Work Study Program allows students, many of whom are first generation college students,  to pay  for their Catholic high school education by working at a job with a corporate partner in the Cleveland area.  Students at St. Martin de Porres are prepared both for college and their career through this program.  Also discussed in this episode are the wraparound services and social-emotional and counseling services that are provided to guide students to success "to and through college"  at St. Martin de Porres High School.
