MISSION MISSION Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle (CRJS) is a Catholic high school that seeks to enflame the intellects and spirits of our students by integrating rigorous college-preparatory academics, professional work experience, and faith development, empowering them to flourish as scholars and citizens.

Fundraising

Corporate Work Study Earnings

Fa m ily Co nt r ib ut io n

Through our Corporate Work Study Program, our students earn a significant portion of the cost of their Cristo Rey education and gain valuable professional experience that prepares them to be better thinkers, leaders, and problem solvers. We raise most of the cost of their education through fundraising, including our annual Gala!

Philanthropic partnerships open doors to life-changing educational and professional pathways.

CRJS is thrilled to host its 3rd annual Heart of Gold Gala in celebration and support of Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle students. This signature fundraiser raises critical funds to support the Cristo Rey mission. Up to 300 guests with hearts of gold are expected to attend, including community and philanthropic partners, faith leaders, and Puget Sound businesses. Let our light shine—join us!

You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father. —Matthew 5:13-16

MORE THAN MORE THAN A A DREAM DREAM During his recovery, Ignatius imagined different futures and discovered that some dreams faded while others brought lasting peace. Those dreams changed the course of his life.
