Cristo Rey Miami launched in August 2022 in North Miami and will scale to an enrollment of more than 400 students across four grade levels by 2025. A highly respected educational leader, Anamarie brings extensive experience with a deep and loyal connection to the South Florida community.

Mrs. Moreiras shared, “I am honored to accept this recognition on behalf of the students, faculty, and staff at Cristo Rey Miami High School as we continue living our Credo by founder Fr. John Foley, S.J -  'May we have faith in a dream so ambitious as to border on the delusional with a healthy disregard for conventional thinking. May our hope be so outrageously bold that we are afraid people will laugh at us if they knew what we hoped for!’”
