We enjoyed having Cristo Rey student interns at our Main office and at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Center for the 2025-2026 school year! The students joined us for a work-study program where they were able to gain hands-on experience in a professional office environment, and build valuable job skills.

We so appreciate the contributions they made to our CSS team throughout the school year!
