We are fortunate to partner with seven of the most prestigious college preparatory high schools in the Dallas area. Participating high schools are Bishop Lynch High School, Cistercian Preparatory School, Cristo Rey Dallas College Preparatory School, The Hockaday School, Bishop Dunne Catholic School, Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas, and Ursuline Academy of Dallas. Each high school provides student mentors to the Mentor Program and a host campus for the academic sessions.
