Episode Details

Gonzaga Middle School turned its campus into a hub of support for 30 proud alumni, many now in their early twenties, offering ice cream, slime—and serious help with college apps, jobs, and life. Founded a decade ago as a tuition-free beacon to break poverty’s cycle, Gonzaga boasts nearly 90% graduation rates and countless scholarships. Principal Rex Ferguson-Baird shares how grads—some still just 22 or 23—return for homework help, proving this isn’t just a school, it’s a family. With 138 former students actively supported through transit tips, emotional check-ins, and even cross-school outreach teams, Gonzaga’s mission is clear: stay connected, stay invested, and never let go.
