About the Organization

Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, located in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, is the flagship institution of the Cristo Rey Network of 40 schools nationwide. Founded as the first Cristo Rey school, it pioneered a unique educational and business model that pairs rigorous, Catholic, college-preparatory academics with meaningful professional work experience through the Corporate Work Study Program.

Serving 476 students from 29 zip codes across Chicago’s Southwest Side, Cristo Rey creates unique opportunities for a community that still experiences great need. Through a dual-language curriculum, faith formation, and a professional work placement model, students gain the tools and experiences to succeed in college and beyond. The school’s mission is deeply rooted in Jesuit values — forming young people to become “men and women for others,” open to growth, intellectually competent, committed to justice, and faith-driven.

The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to steward a historical school and contribute to a nationally recognized curriculum model that has transformed the landscape of Catholic education— at a pivotal time of transition and renewal.

The President’s primary responsibility is the achievement of their mission through execution of the school’s strategic plan.
