DePaul Cristo Rey High School (DPCR) is a private, college-preparatory high school located in the Clifton neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The non-diocesan school, which opened June 5, 2011, is one of 37 [2] Catholic high schools that serve the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Named after St. Vincent de Paul, it is sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati as a member of the Cristo Rey Network of work-study schools.

History

DePaul Cristo Rey is located one block south of Cincinnati State Technical and Community College at the former German-language Concordia Evangelical Lutheran Church (German: Concordia Evangelisch-Lutherisch Kirche),[3] which disbanded on August 23, 2009, a year after closing its elementary school.[4] In November 2009, the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati purchased the building and grounds with the intention of establishing a Cristo Rey school.[5]

DePaul Cristo Rey was dedicated June 5, 2011, and welcomed its first freshman class on August 17, 2011,[6] to become Cincinnati's first new Catholic school since La Salle, Moeller, and McAuley High Schools opened in 1960.[7]

Work-study

Following the Cristo Rey model, DePaul Cristo Rey's Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) partners with over 90 local businesses and community organizations in a one-of-a-kind program in Greater Cincinnati. Students go to school four days a week and work one day at a business or organization helping to finance their own private, college-prep high school education as they grow professionally and personally working side-by-side with adults in workplaces around the region. In the nine years since the first class graduated (in 2015), every senior, every year has been accepted to college.
