History

The Cristo Rey Network and relocation

In 2004, North Cambridge Catholic High School joined the Cristo Rey Network, a national network of Catholic high schools exclusively serving families of limited economic means. [2] [3] [4] The school replicated the Cristo Rey Corporate Work Study Program which allows each student to offset the majority of the cost of their education by working entry-level jobs five days per month throughout Greater Boston. Companies pay $33,800 for a team of four students, the equivalent of one full-time employee, which allows the school to offset the cost of educating students. [5]

In 2010, the school moved to Dorchester in order to better serve the population of students primarily commuting from Boston's most under-resourced zip codes. Upon moving, the school was renamed Cristo Rey Boston High School. Cristo Rey Boston acquired the former St. William’s Elementary School, which had been closed in 2009 and unused in the interim. In its first year in Boston, the school completed nearly $2 million in renovations to upgrade the facilities to a modern high school. The school’s capacity also increased with the relocation and is now able to educate roughly 400 students.

The former North Cambridge Catholic building was sold on September 17, 2010 for $3.6 million to Somerville resident Dr. Mouhab Z. Rizkallah, an orthodontist. The building underwent Cambridge Historical Landmark status in December 2010. It is located in a Residence B Zone, and is being converted into residential apartments. [6]
