The Catalyst Circle Rock Charter School has partnered with the Austin community in Chicago to offer K–8 students an educational setting that will nurture academic, social, and emotional growth. “There is nothing like the morning greeting at Catalyst, when each student is greeted with a handshake and a “Good Morning, _______”. When you speak with these students, you immediately sense their confidence and enthusiasm to succeed. As business leaders, we owe it to them, and to our communities, to foster their growth and expose them to the limitless opportunities of possible career choices. Here is an inner-city school where record numbers of its first graduating class have been accepted into highly selective high schools and will, no doubt, similarly succeed in being admitted into some of the nation’s best universities. The very least we can do is to devote some of our time and talents helping these very bright students, who have overcome adversity from the day they were born, visualize and achieve their dreams. As a corporate citizen in the Chicagoland area for almost 120 years, it is incumbent on our law firm to give back to our communities and those that can use our assistance,” said John.
