Private, coeducational school in Takoma Park, Montgomery County, Maryland, United States
Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School and Corporate Work Study Program is a private, Roman Catholic high school and work study program in Takoma Park, Maryland, a suburb right outside Washington, D.C. It is cosponsored by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington and the Salesians of Don Bosco.
Background
The school is named for St. John Bosco, founder of the Salesian order, and is part of a national Cristo Rey network of 28 schools. It offers a challenging college-preparatory academic program and fully integrated work study program, in which students gain professional work experience at nearly 100 leading Washington, D.C. metropolitan area businesses and earn money to pay for a significant portion of their tuition. The school finished renovation in 2007, graduated its first class in 2011, and finished adding a new science wing in 2014.
Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School opened for classes on August 28, 2007, with 127 students enrolled. The school graduated its first class in 2011. It is part of the Cristo Rey Network of high schools, the original being Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago. The school is run by the Salesians of Don Bosco, and they run another Cristo Rey school in Tampa, Cristo Rey Tampa Salesian High School.
All students are from families with limited financial means, and each student works one day a week (Tuesday–Friday) plus one Monday per month. The jobs that the students are employed in help pay for the bulk of the tuition.
In 2014, the school completed construction of a new wing that will primarily serve science classes. Cardinal Donald Wuerl blessed the new wing in a ceremony on September 4, 2014.
The current president is Mark Shriver. The current principal is Elias Blanco. Ana Chapa is the vice president of organizational growth. Ben Runyon is the vice president of operations.
