Job Details

Who We Are

Saint Martin De Porres Cristo Rey High School is part of the national Cristo Rey Network (CRN).  Member schools use a rigorous academic model, supported by best practices in instruction and assessment, to prepare students with a broad range of intellectual abilities for college and life.  Further, CRN schools employ an innovative Corporate Work Study Program that provides students with real world work experiences.  In this highly unique model, every CRN student works an average of five days a month to fund the majority of her or his schooling, gain job experience, grow in self-confidence, and realize the relevance of this education. Students work in various corporate and business settings including law firms, banks, hospitals, universities, and with other professional organizations.

Like all Cristo Rey schools, Saint Martin is a Catholic, college preparatory high school for students of all faiths from families of limited financial means.  The school is co-educational and serves students of diverse backgrounds.  We help our students grow intellectually, academically, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and morally.  Our aspiration is that all our students graduate from high school and college and become the future leaders in our churches, institutions, businesses, nonprofits, and the community at large.  Our curriculum is interdisciplinary, designed to cultivate empathy, focused on social justice, rooted in students’ experiences, and seeks to ensure that all students speak, read, write, and think in class every day.

Who We Seek

We are recruiting a skilled leader who is passionate about the Cristo Rey mission.  The President will be the Chief Executive Officer, having overall responsibility for the management of Saint Martin De Porres High School.  The President will lead the school in development, implementation, maintenance, and monitoring of an exceptional program that supports and promotes the school’s mission and values with special emphasis on the Corporate Work Study Program and the religious and spiritual orientation of the school.
