“Cristo Rey was only the beginning when it came to furthering my education. The fact that I felt supported and empowered to attend college…I knew I would be successful in all future endeavors. Cristo Rey opened the door for college and gave me the tools I needed to achieve my goals.”
Carlos Vences, CR ‘13
University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, Bachelors in Psychology and Spanish, Minor in Latino Studies
“I think that every person who had their high school experience at Cristo Rey eventually realizes, if not during their time in high school then definitely after, that Cristo Rey is a family and that the quality of education one receives there is truly one to be valued.” Lydna Negron, CR ‘14 Lewis University, Bachelors in Psychology
“Cristo Rey gave me the opportunity to grow academically and professionally. The Corporate Work Study Program helped mold my work ethic. The challenging classes taken at Cristo Rey prepped me to time manage, ask for help, and stay motivated which translated into success in my college courses.”
OUR 21ST GRADUATING CLASS Congratulations to the graduates of the Class of 2018! Welcome to the Cristo Rey Jesuit High School Alumni community – over 1,900 strong.
