Cristo Rey Tampa Salesian High School is a Catholic college-preparatory school and work study program sponsored by the Salesians of Don Bosco.[2] Opened in 2016, it is a part of the national Cristo Rey Network of schools whose goal is to educate students from lower income families and provide the opportunity to attend college.
