A team from Cristo Rey Jesuit High School won the Warnock Foundation’s Baltimore High School Innovation Challenge, the foundation announced Thursday.
The team of four students — Keynell Washington, Lem Bourne, Corey Hairston and Justine Mudiay — proposed a mobile app to connect Cristo Rey alumni. The proposal won the Upper Fells Point school $5,000 and a spot in the winter 2015 issue of the foundation’s Baltimore Social Innovation Journal.
Projects from Green Street Academy and MERIT Scholars took home second and third place projects, respectively, while Baltimore School for the Arts won an award for best attendance. City Neighbors High School, REACH! Partnership School, Benjamin Franklin High School, Vivien T. Thomas High School for Medical Arts, Dunbar High School and Western High School were also represented in the finals.
