DEAR FRIENDS, We are grateful to have returned to our beautiful campus for in-person learning and for the internship partners who continue to welcome our students into their offices for the critical learning that comes through meaningful work. We are filled with appreciation for the families, faculty, staff, internship partners, and donors who help our students continue to achieve academic, personal, and professional success. Nazareth Prep continues to seek new and exciting opportunities for our students. In particular, we’d like to share the following highlights: • Our internship program provides a gateway to a transformative post- secondary opportunity, underscoring the powerful connections forged between our students and internship partners; • The Advanced Placement program continues to grow and offer our students the chance to reach their full academic potential, with 72 students participating this year, more than four times the number in the program’s first year. I hope that the stories on the following pages strengthen and renew your excitement for the impact of our shared mission at work. Each of the 35 members of the class of 2022 graduated with a clear plan for post- secondary education or career – 65% will continue to four-year colleges and universities, 23% to two-year colleges and technical schools, 6% to the United States military, and 6% directly to the workforce. The success of our students and graduates is owed to the cooperation between students, families, staff, internship partners, and donors. It is inspiring to see what can be achieved when working together toward a worthy goal. Thank you! Paul Uhler Chair, Board of Trustees Nazareth Prep 1
