Description: San Miguel Cristo Rey opened in 2004 in order to create a learning community where students from families of limited financial mean have the opportunity to develop to their full potential. San Miguel is located in Tucson’s economically depressed south side where 50% of adult residents do not have a high school education and 42% of San Miguel’s neighbors earn less than $25,000 per year. At San Miguel, students take a full college preparatory course load while simultaneously holding internships, working in corporations and earning nearly sixty percent of their school tuition. The Corporate Internship Program (CIP) at San Miguel gives students the opportunity to form new identities as citizens and professionals who have a bright future. Although only six years old, San Miguel has been blessed with a record size student body, a completed and new four building school campus, and a graduation rate/college acceptance rate of 100%. San Miguel is part of the Cristo Rey Network that is comprised of 24 high schools with approximately 6,500 students. This past year, 100% of the schools’ senior class was accepted into college.
