Dear Friends,
As the founding President & CEO of Cristo Rey Richmond High School and Corporate Work Study Program, I welcome you to our website! We are a unique school for diverse students with limited financial means, combining a college preparatory curriculum with professional work experience, a model that empowers our students with the necessary skills to grow into young men and women of faith, purpose, and service, ready for success in college and beyond!
I invite you to take a virtual tour of CRR through this website. View our videos; learn about our wonderful educational approach and what it means to be a scholar at Cristo Rey Richmond. Get to know our corporate partners who hire our student-workers and check out the impressive newly expanded facility that is home to our CRR family. Learn the many ways you can contribute and support our young people who believe in themselves, are hardworking and focused on changing their destiny and transforming Richmond.
To meet our students and hear their dreams is inspiring. To live and journey with them is to see God’s Spirit in their hearts. We must believe in our young people if they are to believe in themselves. I hope you find the time to visit our school, meet our students, and experience “The School that Works!” Please contact us to schedule a visit. We would love to see you!
Perhaps you want to be part of this new and exciting mission as a student, employee, corporate partner, volunteer, or donor. We welcome you! It is truly a blessing and a privilege for all of us to be part of Cristo Rey Richmond High School and Corporate Work Study Program.
Thank you! God bless you! ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Deacon Peter J. McCourt, President & CEO
