Welcome

Rooted in Faith
and open to all

Dear Students, Families, Faculty, Staff, and Friends,

Welcome to San Miguel Cristo Rey High School!

It is my great privilege to welcome you to a new school year filled with opportunity, growth, and purpose. Whether you are joining our community for the first time or returning for another exciting year, we are grateful to have you as part of the San Miguel Cristo Rey family.

At San Miguel Cristo Rey, we believe every student has unique gifts and tremendous potential.
Our mission is to provide a transformative, Lasallian Catholic, college and career-preparatory education that empowers young people to excel academically, grow spiritually, and become leaders who make a meaningful difference in their communities. Through our rigorous academic program, faith formation, and Corporate Work Study Program, students develop the knowledge, character, and professional skills needed to succeed in college, career, and life.

This year, I encourage each member of our community to embrace our five Lasallian Core Principles. These values guide our decisions, strengthen our relationships, and inspire us to pursue excellence in everything we do. Success is not measured solely by achievements, but by the way we support one another, demonstrate compassion, and live out our faith each day.

We challenge our students to learn, ask questions, and take advantage of every opportunity before them. Believe in their God-given abilities, persevere through obstacles, and remember that they have an entire community cheering for their success.

We thank our families for entrusting us with their child's education. Our partnership is essential to fulfilling our mission, and we look forward to working together throughout the year.

We celebrate our Lasallian educators’ unwavering dedication and commitment to our students. Their passion, expertise, and care create an environment where young people can thrive academically, spiritually, and personally.

As we begin this new year together, let us remain grounded in our faith and united in our shared mission. Together, we will continue building a community where every student is known, valued, challenged, and prepared to become a person of competence, conscience, and compassion.

We ask for God’s grace and pray for wisdom, strength, and abundant joy throughout the year ahead.

With gratitude and hope,

David L. Mason
