The graduation ceremony for Cristo Rey Brooklyn’s Class of 2026, was a tribute to resilience, growth, reinvention, and the courage to imagine new possibilities.
This remarkable class achieved 100% college acceptance, earning spots at top schools including NYU, Boston University, Fordham, Syracuse, RIT, the University of Scranton, and more—with one senior, Ife O., '26, earning a highly selective, full-tuition QuestBridge Scholarship to Brown University.
The 2026 keynote speaker, Adam Unger, associate at Herrick, Feinstein LLP, and all those who graced us with their words during the ceremony, reminded graduates of what can happen when determination meets opportunity, emphasizing that dreaming big and being practical aren’t opposites—big dreams require action, discipline, and the courage to keep building, even when the path changes.
Congratulations, Class of 2026! We’ll be cheering for you throughout every step of the future.
