The White House Salutes Nine Catholic Educational Leaders
On Wednesday, January 25th, the White House honored nine leaders in Catholic education from across the country as Champions of Change for their service to their communities and our nation. One of the honorees is Joseph Womac, who has served as the Executive Director of the Fulcrum Foundation for the past eight years. He has worked tirelessly on behalf of at risk students and Catholic schools in jeopardy of closing. Under his leadership, the Fulcrum Foundation has raised $60 million, which has led to over 10,000 low income students being sent to tremendous Catholic schools in western Washington State. Thanks in large part to Joe’s efforts and Fulcrum’s programs, Seattle is among the largest regions in the country that has not closed any Catholic schools and instead has opened schools during the past decade. Last year, every single high school senior supported by the Fulcrum Foundation graduated. Of those, 99% are now attending college.
