Congratulations to the Cristo Rey Network Class of 2025! The latest graduating class achieved remarkable milestones across the board, but especially regarding college acceptances and commitments. Of the 2,730 seniors served across the country, 97% were accepted to a four-year college, a new record for the network. Even more encouraging, 93% were committed to college as of June 18, 2025, with 83% committed to four-year colleges. Cristo Rey students aren’t just getting admitted - they are committing to and planning for their college journeys.

As we celebrate the amazing accomplishments of the Class of ‘25, we also extend deep gratitude to those who made generous gifts to support their next chapter. This spring, 71 graduates received scholarships from five Cristo Rey Network partner programs to support their postsecondary education at University Partner institutions or similarly best-fit colleges. The scholarships totaled nearly $2 million over four years, an incredible investment towards these students’ futures at four-year colleges and universities.

We are exceedingly grateful to our five national philanthropic partners:

• Cristo Rey Howley College Scholars Program
• Cristo Rey Network National Schreiber Scholars Program
• Swedish Scholarship Fund
• Ann M. Korologos Endowed Scholarship Fund
• Anonymous Scholarship Fund

At the Cristo Rey Network, we remain steadfast in our mission of sending well-prepared graduates to four-year universities. It is encouraging to see our students, staff, and philanthropic partners aligned towards this shared goal. We look forward to seeing the Class of ‘25 excel at their universities and beyond!
