View Faculty & Staff View Board MembersOklahoma City’s Future at Work
Cristo Rey Oklahoma City is a private Catholic high school which combines intensive college preparatory academics with continuous professional work experience. Our mission is to make affordable, high-quality, faith-based education available to underserved communities and families of limited economic means.
Cristo Rey is distinguished by its unique Corporate Work Study Program, which partners students with local corporate employers one day per week. Students learn and practice relevant professional skills throughout the course of their high school experience and graduate with the confidence to succeed not only in college - but also in the real world. We strive to develop our students into men and women of faith, knowledge, purpose, and service through a combination of professional success training, college preparedness courses, and faculty support.
