History

Cristo Rey Columbus was established in 2013 as a part of the Cristo Rey Network of high schools. It is housed in a renovated building that was built in 1899 as the Ohio School for the Deaf.[5] The building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, underwent an $18 million restoration to accommodate the new school. Renovations included motion-sensor lights in all classrooms, wi-fi, and built-in projectors that connect to students’ tablets and display their work on whiteboards, all of which become smart boards.[6]

The school serves students from families of limited means.[7] Students work five days a month at entry-level jobs at four dozen businesses in the metro area.[8]
