History

DePaul Cristo Rey is located adjacent to Cincinnati State Technical and Community College at the former German-language Concordia Evangelical Lutheran Church (German: Concordia Evangelisch-Lutherisch Kirche),[7] which disbanded on August 23, 2009, a year after closing its elementary school.[8] In November 2009, the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati purchased the building and grounds with the intention of establishing a Cristo Rey school.[9]

DePaul Cristo Rey was dedicated June 5, 2011,[1] and is welcomed its first freshman class on August 17, 2011,[10] to become Cincinnati's first new Catholic school since La Salle, Moeller, and McAuley High Schools opened in 1960.[11]

Work-study

Following the Cristo Rey model, DePaul Cristo Rey's Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) has partnered with 30 local businesses and community organizations to provide each student with five days of clerical work a month. Companies pay the school $6,000 per student or $27,000 for four students.[10][5] As of 2011, these corporate partners include:[4]
