Cristo Rey, a new Catholic high school that will partner with local businesses and serve students from low-income families, will open in the fall of 2016 at the former site of Redemptorist High School.
The school announced this morning that it has secured a lease for the former Redemptorist campus at 4000 St. Gerard Ave. after conducting an extensive search for a location in downtown or central Baton Rouge.
After Redemptorist closed in May, the site became available for lease in early June at a rental rate of about $3 per square foot, or $23,853 per month. According to the listing of the property, the campus comprises about 13.6 acres of land in total—including 95,412 square feet of school facilities—with an administration building, classrooms, computer room, biology and chemistry lab, library, gym and football field equipped with stadium seating, press box, concession stand and outdoor lighting. It’s also fully furnished.

We all knew this was gonna happen he whole time. If RHS didn't make it there now, what makes you think Cristo is gonna make it.
It was a lying show from the beginning.
I hope Munch and Verges are gone by the time my kid starts pre-k.

What a crock..
They should have let Cristo Rey take over the site and let Redemptorist move locations to SE BR.

It isn't bad. They seem to have a solid business plan to use the space for the neighboring kids.
The only ones that think it was bad are the previous grads that wouldn't send their kids there

1. Bishop gives his blessing for the proposed Cristo Rey school to come to BR, and Cristo Rey begins to look for a future campus
2. Bishop-Verges announces RHS closure due to low enrollment.
3. Cristo Rey says that they were not looking at the RHS to move into. They want to position themselves downtown.
4. Alumni offers to buy the school and run it as an independent school. Offers to purchase the campus in payments
5. Bishop-Verges says nope.
6. Alumni asks Bishop-Verges "How much straight out".
7. Bishop-Verges says nope.
8. Bishop-Verges moves a huge dumpster on campus during the school year and begins to clean out the school while the students are still there.
9. Bishop-Verges denys the alumni to meet on campus to discuss anything. Other churches of different denominations opens its doors to them.
10. School goes up for sale
11. Cristo Rey and Bishop-Verges announces that Cristo Rey will be moving into the RHS campus.
