The Fulcrum Point
In increasingly secular Western Washington, why is Catholic education growing in popularity? We'll take a closer look at some of the inspiring and innovative reasons behind this unexpected trend. In this podcast, we explore the Fulcrum Foundation's immense impact on Catholic schools in Western Washington, one of the largest school districts in our region, and its ripple effects throughout our communities. We'll examine Fulcrum's role in developing leaders, including staff, students, families, and community members.
A "fulcrum" is the tipping point of a lever. Join us as we "get to the point" of how the Fulcrum Foundation is finding new ways to leverage support for the power of Catholic education to inspire and unite communities across the Pacific Northwest.
The Fulcrum Point
Season 2 Episode 1: Back-and-Forth with the Bishops!
As students and teachers head back to school this fall, two leading voices of the Seattle Archdiocese have some important lessons to pass on! Auxiliary Bishop Eusebio Elizondo and Auxiliary Bishop Frank Schuster join the podcast for a special episode to kick off our second season.
Welcome to The Fulcrum Point, brought to you by the Fulcrum Foundation! In this episode, the auxiliary bishops open up about their own sometimes surprising educational backgrounds, their efforts to welcome as many students as possible--especially from our region's growing Hispanic population--into Catholic education, their thoughts on how a fast-moving world of technology and social media is affecting students of today, and more.
Host Brian Callanan also talks with Bishop Schuster and Bishop Elizondo about the continued growth of Catholic school enrollment in western Washington over the past five years--and what steps the Fulcrum Foundation can take to ensure that growth continues towards a bright, innovative and inclusive future.
