Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School

Renovate Reinvest Reignite: the Campaign for Student Health and Wellness

At Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to excel—academically, morally, emotionally, and spiritually—becoming people for and with others. Guided by our Jesuit values, we are committed to creating an environment where students can learn, grow, and care for their whole selves.

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to support our campaign, "Renovate Reinvest Reignite: the Campaign for Student Health and Wellness." Your gift helps us strengthen facilities and resources that promote student well-being and enriches their daily experience—such as updated equipment, new desks for every classroom, fitness initiatives, a modernized elevator providing full-campus access, and a wellness center that nurtures emotional resilience and endurance.

Your generosity ensures that our students have the support they need to balance the demands of rigorous academics and professional work experiences with healthy minds and bodies. Together, we can empower them to build lasting habits of wellness that prepare them to lead with confidence, compassion, and purpose.

Join us in investing in the health and vitality of the next generation!

Our Vision
Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit is an apostolate of the Society of Jesus and one of 60 Jesuit high schools in the United States. Since 1548, Jesuit schools have formed students to become people of conscience, competence and compassion. The hallmark of Jesuit education is academic and personal excellence. The aim of Jesuit schools is the formation of men and women for others.

Students will graduate from Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit prepared to embark upon a journey of personal accountability, service to others and lifelong learning.

Our school utilizes a longer school day and year, structured academic assistance, and counseling support to prepare students for college. All students enrolled in the school participate in a unique Corporate Work Study Program through which they develop important skills and finance the majority of the cost of their education. The Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit Corporate Work Study Program provides students the opportunity to build core skills that will help them succeed in college and the modern workplace.
