Position Description
Background
Cristo Rey Columbus High School (CRCHS) is a Catholic, co-ed, college-prep school that is part of the national Cristo Rey Network. The Cristo Rey Network educates 12,000 students in 38 high schools across the country. Our mission is to empower students of all faiths, in need of an affordable, high-quality education, to excel in college, in career and in character. Our ultimate goal is that our students will graduate from college and become leaders in the public and private sector, service organizations, their own faith institutions, and the community at large, transforming the world for the good of society. Since the families of our students do not pay the full tuition required of a private, college-prep, Catholic high school, the students work in an innovative Professional Work Study Program (PWSP) and assign their earnings to the school in lieu of tuition. CRCHS students work one day a week during the school year from 8:30-4:00 pm in entry-level jobs at over 120 organizations in the Columbus metropolitan area to cover the majority of their cost of education.
