And graduation is still more than three months away! There are 65 seniors in the Class of 2020.

DePaul Cristo Rey, sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, offers a nationally recognized, dual-focus education model to students whose families need significant financial assistance to afford a private, college preparatory program. This education model, not available at any other local high school, partners challenging college preparatory academics with a Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). It is one of 37 Catholic high schools in the nationwide Cristo Rey Network® which serves 13,000 young people.
