In honor of our 20th anniversary, we recognized an HPGM member and past scholarship recipient who demonstrates what it means to build a stronger and brighter future for our next generation - Vanessa Solis, Nativity Jesuit Academy President.


Vanessa received a master's degree in Educational Leadership from University of Notre Dame, as well as a master’s degree in Urban Education from Cardinal Stritch University. She joined Nativity in 2014 as a K4 teacher, and is the school’s first Latina president. During the past year, Solis navigated Nativity through a new set of challenges triggered by the pandemic and leadership changes. Vanessa is a visionary leader that is relentlessly committed to student success and establishing a rigorous academic curriculum and environment that sets her students up to thrive in high school and college. We’re proud of all Vanessa has accomplished and thankful for her great work mentoring our next generation.
