Where are they now?

Former YEF Scholarship Recipient Jose De Leon, was recently featured in an article in Today's Catholic. José a high school teacher at St. Gerard Catholic High School, carefully monitors the progress of each student at St. PJ’s. He offers individualized instruction on core curriculum to students.

De Leon, who formerly worked with at-risk students in the South San Independent School District, embraces his ministry of teaching at St. PJ’s. “My position at St. PJ’s has been a blessing,” he said. I’m in a position to both educate and mentor young adults with troubling backgrounds. These are the target students who need special attention to get back on track to an educated, stable and healthy life. It is truly rewarding work to be a positive influence in all of their lives.” De Leon’s use of Differentiated Instruction (DI) has proven immensely successful. Rivera remarked of De Leon, “His success rate with previous students made him a natural fit for the satellite campus.”
