"May our hope be so outrageously bold that we are afraid people will laugh at us if they knew what we hoped for!”
- Chair Emeritus John P. Foley, S.J.
For the last 28 years our dreams and vision for this movement have grown and become even more audacious. Here are just a few examples of our expansion of the dream of a quality Cristo Rey education for students across the country:
- Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle opened as the 40th school in the Cristo Rey Network.
- We celebrated an inaugural graduation at Cristo Rey San Diego High School.
- Cristo Rey alumni experienced record college persistence and completion rates across our University Partners that now enroll 1 in 5 of our Class of 2024 graduates.
- Students earned $70+ million across 3,100 Corporate Partners towards their own education.
- Our Corporate Work Study teams continue to lead the way in meeting the workforce needs of today and the future.
These remarkable milestones serve as confirmation that the Cristo Rey mission is full of hope, translating into real impact amplified by the generosity of our partners.
As we look to the future, we are encouraged by the impression our alumni are making on the world. Their stories along with the stories of current and future students of Cristo Rey inspire us to increase our impact.
On behalf of our 12,600 students, 30,000 graduates, and 40 local school teams, thank you for your belief in and support of this amazing Catholic mission. Together, we will continue to hope in outrageously bold ways.
¡Viva Cristo Rey!
