Cristo Rey Fort Worth College Prep

BET ON THE DREAM.
BET ON THE WORK. 
BET ON THEIR FUTURE.

Before they become nurses, engineers, attorneys, entrepreneurs, or educators, they're Cristo Rey Fort Worth students—young people with big dreams, remarkable determination, and futures worth believing in.

This North Texas Giving Day, we're inviting you to do more than make a gift. We're inviting you to bet on students who are already putting in the work to build brighter futures for themselves, their families, and our community.

“Cristo Rey Fort Worth is helping me find who I am, what I love, and what I want to do."

— Holy, Class of 2030

Every future starts with someone willing to believe.

Where Opportunity Meets Determination

Cristo Rey Fort Worth opened its doors in 2018 with one mission: to prepare students with limited financial means to thrive in college, career, and life.

As part of the nationally recognized Cristo Rey Network, our students receive far more than a traditional high school education. They experience rigorous academics, a faith-centered community, and something that sets Cristo Rey apart from almost every other high school in the country—real professional work experience while they're still in high school.

Our students don't wait until graduation to begin building their futures.

They start now.

"Being exposed to different careers through the Corporate Work Study Program has helped me understand what a career in engineering could really look like—and it's shown me a future I'm excited to pursue."

— Miguel, Class of 2027

Bet on the Work

Every Cristo Rey Fort Worth student participates in our innovative Corporate Work Study Program, working one full day each week alongside professionals across the Fort Worth community.

Through these experiences, students develop confidence, communication skills, professionalism, and leadership long before they earn a college diploma.

They learn how to shake hands with confidence.

They learn how to solve problems.

They learn how to contribute to a team.

Most importantly, they begin to see themselves as the professionals they aspire to become.

While students are earning nearly half the cost of their education through the Corporate Work Study Program, they're also building something even more valuable—a vision for what's possible.

And It Works!

Every graduating class in Cristo Rey Fort Worth history has achieved 100% college acceptance.

Today, more than 70 Corporate Work Study partners are helping students gain meaningful professional experience across industries throughout North Texas.

Nearly 90% of our students are the first in their families to attend college, proving that opportunity paired with hard work changes lives.

Since opening our doors, Cristo Rey Fort Worth students have earned more than $80 million in college financial aid and scholarships, creating pathways that will impact families for generations.

These aren't just numbers.

They're futures being rewritten.

"Cristo Rey has helped me become a better student and learn what I need to do for the future I want. One day, I want to retire my parents and give them the life they've worked so hard to give me."
— Noel, Class of 2030

Bet on Their Future

Our students arrive every morning ready to learn, ready to grow, and ready to work toward something bigger than themselves.

They've already made the commitment.

Now they're looking for people willing to believe in them.

Every gift made during North Texas Giving Day helps Cristo Rey Fort Worth continue providing transformational educational opportunities, expanding access to meaningful professional experiences, and preparing students to become men and women of faith, purpose, and service.

Because when students are surrounded by people who believe in them...

Dreams become goals.

Goals become opportunities.

Opportunities become futures.

Every Great Story Begins With Someone Willing to Believe.

This North Texas Giving Day, thank you for believing in Cristo Rey Fort Worth students.

Bet on the Dream.

Bet on the Work.

Bet on Their Future.
