History

Cristo Rey Atlanta opened in 2014 under the auspices of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in midtown Atlanta, in a three-story building that was formerly the chancery building for the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

As the demand for its services expanded, the school accepted the donation of a much larger, seven-story building in downtown Atlanta.[5] The new building was officially dedicated on January 30, 2018[8] with Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Governor Nathan Deal attending the ceremony.
