As a community of faith, we believe that a Catholic, college preparatory education, combined with a corporate internship program (CIP), creates spiritual, intellectual, and professional growth for the students we serve.
We value our students, their families, and the rich culture they bring to our school, and are committed to shaping the young hearts and minds of our future leaders.

School Notes
Shortly after arriving in Austin in June 2000, Bishop Gregory
Aymond sought to advance the Church's prophetic mission by
increasing the number of Catholic school opportunities in Central
Texas. Citing the Church's "preferential option for the poor," he
sought to make quality, Catholic, college-prepatory education
available to young people who otherwise might not have access to
it. In August 2002, only weeks after the canonization of St. Juan
Diego, the indigenous man to whom Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared,
Bishop Aymond opened San Juan Diego Catholic High School. San Juan
Diego is modeled after Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago.
Because of its academic excellence and innovative Corporate Work
Study Program, San Juan Diego Catholic High School is popularly
known as "The School That Works!"

This is an excellent school, my son is a senior and we both love it. It has given him such a great experience and preparation for his college years and life! The teachers are awesome and really care and follow up with the students when they are struggling. They want to make sure they are given every opportunity to be successful. My favorite thing is the close knit community of the students.
