Cristo Rey High School Sacramento is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Sacramento, California, situated on the corner of Jackson and Florin-Perkins Roads. It is in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento.

Background

Cristo Rey opened in Sacramento in August, 2006. It is part of the Cristo Rey Network of high schools, the original being Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago.[2] The school is co-sponsored by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), the Sisters of Mercy, and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.

First graduation class

On Thursday, June 3, 2010, Cristo Rey HS had its first graduation class. The ceremony was held at St. Ignatius Loyola Church.[3] The class consisted of 53 students, all of whom were accepted into colleges and universities.[4]

Book about the Cristo Rey Model

In January 2008, Loyola Press released a book entitled More than A Dream: How One School's Vision is Changing the World.[5] The book, authored by G.R. Kearney, a writer and former volunteer teacher at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago, documents the unlikely development of the Cristo Rey model and its remarkable success throughout the United States.
