Background

Holy Family Cristo Rey is a Catholic High School that educates young people of limited economic means to become men and women of faith, purpose and service. By offering a rigorous curriculum, a unique work-study experience, and the support of an inclusive school community, we prepare our students to succeed in college and beyond with the values essential to a fulfilling life.

Holy Family Catholic High School first opened in 1943 by the Holy Cross Province of the Congregation of the Passion. In 2007, Holy Family joined the Cristo Rey Network of schools, becoming the first Cristo Rey school in the South.

Cristo Rey Network member schools utilize a rigorous academic model, supported with effective instruction, to prepare students with a broad range of academic abilities for college.

Every student in works five full days per month to fund the majority of his or her education, gain job experience, grow in self-confidence, and realize the relevance of his or her education. Students work at law firms, banks, hospitals, universities, and other professional Corporate Partners.
