Cristo Rey High School
Located in Columbus, Ohio, Cristo Rey High School has a long history of dedication to their students. Emphasizing the values of a Catholic education, Cristo Rey strives to instill confidence, character, and compassion into their graduates, who leave well equipped with the skills needed to continue their journey to college and beyond. Cristo Rey partnered with CPS, as well as KI Furniture and designer Kate Pfreim, to help refine their vision for the future of their school. CPS completely renovated their cafeteria, as well as select hallway spaces, ensuring that students, faculty, and staff of Cristo Rey would have a facility that meets their needs and supports them in their mission for years to come.
KI was a great choice for this project as they have resources all over the country and were equipped to provide the expertise needed for this renovation. CPS worked virtually with KI and Cristo Rey to bring the entire project together on time, despite the distance, and in doing so displayed the vital communication skills CPS considers absolutely essential in serving our clients.

“CPS brings in a level of credibility, comfort, and familiarity, especially with the religious affiliated institutions and schools. They are familiar with them, they have purchased with them, they understand their quality and genuine service. They are very hands on, they are willing to help, they are very kind, they are very generous, and they are going to do right by the customer.”
