Admission Events

Shadow visit

Shadow Days are open to any student that is considering applying to Cristo Rey High School (CRHS). This program allows student applicants to experience school life at Cristo Rey first-hand. We are a Catholic college prep school and expect all visitors to abide by the same school rules and dress code.

Parents should drop off students at the front office. Students are to arrive at 8:30 a.m. on the day of their visit. Shadow Day Students will attend three academic periods and a student break. Students should be picked-up at 11:45 a.m. but no later than 12:00 p.m. at the front office. 

Permission slips with all appropriate signatures should be turned in to the Shadow Day Coordinator at least one week prior to the date selected. You can fax it or e-mail it as well. Once you have submitted the request form, the Coordinator will contact you to confirm the visit. We try our best to accommodate your preferences but cannot promise your request will be available. We will limit the number of Shadow Day Students per date to ensure the experience reflects the actual experience found with our small class sizes.
