Each of the 56 seniors at Cristo Rey OKC Catholic High School has been accepted to at least one college or university this fall.
On May 13, each student will share his or her decision of where they plan to attend in the fall. It is the first graduating class of Cristo Rey OKC, and the vast majority will be first-generation college students.
From the U.S. Naval Academy to the University of Arizona and many colleges between, Cristo Rey OKC students will be spreading their knowledge and experience across the nation.
Cristo Rey OKC seniors have been accepted to 138 different colleges and universities, in more than 35 states, including 21 different colleges in Oklahoma. This makes Decision Day an
important milestone for these graduating seniors.
The Cristo Rey OKC College Counseling and Alumni team works with each student to evaluate and create a plan tailored to the individual, based on wants and needs. Students are assisted with research, applications, funding and scholarship opportunities, and any obstacle that may arise throughout the admissions process.
Cristo Rey OKC students have accumulated hundreds of thousands of scholarship dollars. The school recently hired an alumni advisor to help see the students to and through college. Most of the graduating class are first-generation college students.
On May 13, Cristo Rey OKC seniors, joined by their families, the rest of the student body, faculty, staff and the school’s Board of Directors, will announce and celebrate each student’s decision. Many of the chosen colleges and universities will have representation at Cristo Rey OKC to welcome the soon-to-be collegiate students to their schools.
