Cristo Rey Jesuit High School
Chicago, IL

Built on the philosophy, “The School That Works”, Cristo Rey Jesuit High School has been receiving national recognition as a ground breaking model for urban education. Opening its doors ten years ago with only 79 students, Cristo Rey has grown to over 530 students, mainly serving the immigrant Latino population. Their new 50,000 square foot building will include a gymnasium, multipurpose room, cafeteria with full service kitchen, lower level parking garage, a library, classrooms, computer lab, bathroom and locker rooms, and administrative offices.
