About Cristo Rey
Cristo Rey Fort Worth (CRFW) High School delivers a career focused, college preparatory education in the Catholic tradition for students with limited economic resources. Through the unique integration of rigorous academic curricula, four years of professional work experience, and support to and through college, Cristo Rey students are achieving their aspirations for postsecondary success at rates exceeding their peers.

Founded in 2018, CRFW is the 35th school in the Cristo Rey Network, an association of 40+ schools dedicated to preparing students for attending and graduating from four-year colleges and universities. Our vision is to set students up to lead futures grounded in faith, purpose, and service. At CRFW, students and families see Cristo Rey as an investment in their future.

• Values-Driven: We educate the whole student: academically, spiritually, and socio-emotionally.
• Growth Opportunities and Community: We prioritize our faculty and staff’s learning and growth, including a schedule with additional planning and collaboration time.
• Invested Students and Engaged Families: Our students’ families seek out our schools.
