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.

Season 2 Episode 2: School Safety, School Choice Tax Credits, and More with Superintendent Nicholas Ford
On this episode of the Fulcrum Point: Two national stories with significant local impacts.
After a tragic school shooting during an all-school Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minnesota, how are Catholic schools in western Washington responding--and how are they changing their safety policies? Plus, how could a controversial new federal school choice tax credit program impact our state? Nicholas Ford, superintendent of the Office for Catholic Schools, is answering these questions and more in this edition of "The Fulcrum Point."
The Fulcrum Point is a podcast focused on the impact of Catholic education on western Washington brought to you by the Fulcrum Foundation. In this episode, the superintendent (who oversees the 74 schools in the Seattle Archdiocese) also breaks down how Catholic schools in our region have grown for the sixth consecutive year this fall, with a focus on professional development for staff and teachers, and an inclusive environment for students with different learning and behavioral needs.
Host Brian Callanan is putting Superintendent Ford to the test on these challenging issues in this action-packed episode!
