History

San Miguel High School opened in 2004 to assist capable students from families of limited means to prepare for college. [2] It follows the Cristo Rey work-study model, whereby students work in businesses five days a month to earn 40% of their tuition. [3] In its first nine years, the school had 492 graduates, all of whom were admitted to college. Current enrollment is 296, with 71 on the staff. About 97% of the students are Hispanic. [4]

Academics

A total of 24 credits are required for graduation, as is participation in the Corporate Internship program. Four credits are required in English, mathematics, religious studies, and science; three in foreign language and social studies; and one in visual/performing arts and in academic skills/literacy.

Corporate partners

There are currently over 100 corporate partners that employ San Miguel students as part of the national Cristo Rey Network Corporate Work Study program. [5] Videos are available on various aspects of the San Miguel experience. [6]
