History
The school building was built in 1899 as part of the Ohio Institution for the Deaf and Dumb (today the Ohio School for the Deaf). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 25, 1984, and the Columbus Register of Historic Properties on November 19, 1984.
Cristo Rey Columbus was established in 2013 as a part of the Cristo Rey Network of high schools.[5] The building underwent an $18 million restoration to accommodate the new school. Renovations included motion-sensor lights in all classrooms, wi-fi, and built-in projectors that connect to students' tablets and display their work on whiteboards, all of which become smart boards.[6]
The school serves students from families of limited means.[7] Students work five days a month at entry-level jobs at four dozen businesses in the metro area.[8]
