Cristo Rey Tampa Salesian High School

Cristo Rey Tampa opened in 2016 as a Catholic high school guided by the Salesian tradition of education. It provides private college-preparatory education for students, primarily from families with limited resources across the Tampa Bay area. Academics include rigorous coursework and real-world experience. Through its Corporate Work Study program, students gain professional experience while earning a college-preparatory education. The school also supports students on a pathway to college and emphasizes intellectual and spiritual development, faith, compassion, and service. Its educational approach draws on the teachings of Don Bosco and aims to prepare students for college and beyond. Professional skills and job experiences are part of the preparation, alongside academic study.
