History
Cristo Rey Fort Worth began with a feasibility study required by the Cristo Rey Network. This required that at least 35 corporate partners be found for the work component of the student experience. The founders raised $3 million for initial support.[3] For the first two years of operation, 300 potential students were identified. Students are to be from low-income families which are asked to pay whatever they can, typically about 10% of the tuition.[1] The school is not a part of the diocesan system but rather an independent Catholic school accredited by the Texas Catholic Conference.
The school formerly occupied the buildings of the former "Our Mother of Mercy" school.[4][5] The school is currently on the new, larger campus on Altamesa Boulevard as of Fall of 2019.[6]
