"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 30 years, our dreams and vision for the Cristo Rey 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 Orlando High School opened as the 41st school in the Cristo Rey Network.
- This year, we will celebrate an inaugural graduation at Cristo Rey Miami High School.
- Cristo Rey alumni experienced record college persistence and completion rates across our 75+ University Partners that now enroll 1 in 5 of our Class of 2025 graduates.
- Students earned $83 million across 3,500+ 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 12,900 students, 33,700+ graduates, and 41 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!
