DePaul Cristo Rey High School (DPCR) is a private, college-preparatory high school located in the Clifton neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The non-diocesan school, which opened June 5, 2011, is one of 37 Catholic high schools that serve the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Named after St. Vincent de Paul, it is operated by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati as the 25th member of the Cristo Rey Network of work-study schools that target students from low-income families who could not otherwise afford a college education. History DePaul Cristo Rey is located adjacent to Cincinnati State Technical and Community College at the former German-language Concordia Evangelical Lutheran Church (), which disbanded on August 23, 2009, a year after closing its elementary school. In November 2009, the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati purchased the building and grounds with the intention of establishing a Cristo Rey school. DePaul Cristo Rey was dedicated June 5, 2011, and welcomed its first freshman class on August 17, 2011, to become Cincinnati's first new Catholic school since La Salle, Moeller, and McAuley High Schools opened in 1960. Work-study Following the Cristo Rey model, DePaul Cristo Rey's Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) partners with over 100 local businesses and community organizations to provide each student with five days of clerical work a month. Companies pay the school $8,000 per student or $28,000 for four students. From its first three years, the school has established a 100% acceptance rate into colleges for its seniors.
