Dear Christ the King Family,
“Teaching is a beautiful job; as it allows you to see the growth day by day of
people entrusted to your care. It is a little like being parents, at least spiritually.
It is a great responsibility. A commitment of this type may inculcate
apprehension, but remember that no teacher is ever alone, his or her work
is shared with other colleagues and with all
the education community to which they
belong.” ~Pope Francis
As we look back on another academic year,
we reflect on the hard work and dedication
of all those who have come before us to
create the legacy of Christ the King Catholic
School. The 2014-15 school year was marked
by many outstanding accomplishments by
our administration, teachers, staff, students,
parents and parishioners. I am continually
humbled by the work of so many in our
community to create that critical foundation
of faith our students have as a central focus
in their lives. Our Catholic identity is what
inspires us. Our belief in something greater
than ourselves is what motivates us to do
more, be more and give more. Our willingness
to share our faith in God in an environment
that enriches our students academically and
spiritually is what we have been called to do.
This past year was also one of transition for our school as we wished a fond
farewell to our Principal of five years, Mr. Joe Bridgeman and our Administrative
Assistant of nine years, Mrs. Joyce Auxier. I wish to thank them both for all
they have done for our students and families over the years. We have
been blessed to welcome Mr. Chris George, as our new Principal, and Mrs.
Tami Holen, as our Administrative Assistant, at Christ the King. It is a
testament to our dedicated staff and to our parish and school families to see how
they have both been embraced and welcomed to our Christ the King family.
We are a community of faith. We are a spiritual family. The impact
your presence has on the lives of our students is profound; your financial
contributions, your hours of donated service and your commitment to our
school’s future are all critical pieces of our school’s strong foundation.
Catholic education is not only the work of the dedicated staff of Christ the
King, nor solely the work of those parents who send their children to our
school. Rather, it is the work of the entire community.

a message
As we look back on our 2014-2015 school year, I wish to acknowledge the
profound impact Mr. Joe Bridgeman has had on the development and advancement of
Christ the King Catholic School. I am forever grateful for his leadership and vision.
I feel blessed to continue the work he started with such dedicated educators who
enlighten our students’ minds and fill their hearts with the Spirit of the Lord. We
had an unusual beginning to the 2015 school year with the transition of leadership
occurring after the start of school. However this served as a tremendous opportunity
for our faculty and staff to work together and model excellent collaborative skills for
our students and the parish community. On behalf of the staff, students and families
of Christ the King Catholic School, thank you very much for all your support and
allowing us to live our mission each and every day.
A highlight of our 2014-2015 school year was when our faculty and staff welcomed the accreditation team
from the Western Catholic Education Association for our site visit. This visit was the culmination of nearly
2 years of work by our staff. We are so proud of the fine work our staff put forth in creating our 120 page
accreditation document. The Report of Findings and subsequent action plan are reviewed in detail under our
Significant Accomplishments for 2014-15 in our annual report. Our six year approval is a reflection of the
dedication and commitment of our teachers, staff and school community.
As I acclimate myself to the traditions and culture of our school, one of the first things to stand out is how well
prayer and service are integrated into our curriculum. Students lead us through daily prayers and reflections
each morning before the start of school, apply lessons of scripture to contemporary issues in class activities,
prayer services and Mass are organized and led each week by classes, and service projects are ongoing
throughout the year so that students may practice their faith and spirituality in today’s society.
Our teachers and support staff work hard to ensure lessons are engaging and relevant for students who
consistently strive to demonstrate their mastery of knowledge and skills. We are proud of our
implementation of 1:1 technology with students using iPads in order to help them access information,
develop skills and demonstrate understanding. Additionally, teachers and support staff effectively utilize data
to ensure students receive instruction tailored for their needs and unique abilities. We currently
implement two tests, AIMSweb and STAR, benchmark and progress monitoring systems, which both allow us
to evaluate and track all our students’ academic progress as well as the effectiveness of our curriculum.
These systems prove vital in our ability to differentiate learning for students and ensures Christ the King will
continue serving diverse learners
In addition to the excellent instruction our students receive in the core subjects we are blessed to provide
students with opportunities to learn in the following disciplines; Religion, Spanish, physical education, music,
choir, art, technology and library. We are also able to provide all students with lessons in counseling and
health while middle school students are able to choose electives such as yearbook and Christian leadership.
We are very grateful for the support our school has received in the past from all of you and pray
in thanksgiving for all your generous gifts that continue to bless and enrich our school.
May God bless you, be gracious to you and give you peace.

Accreditation Site Visit Year - An important component of the accreditation cycle is the visiting team’s
evaluation and recommendations included in the “Report of Findings.” Their evaluation of the 12
accreditation factors included ratings of both effective and highly effective, resulting in an outstanding review.
Our success demonstrates effective use of the prior accreditation findings to drive school improvement and
support high achievement of all students. The action plan that will drive school improvement as we move
forward into the next accreditation cycle includes three critical goals.
Goal #1: Christ the King Catholic School faculty and staff will strengthen student achievement of School-wide
Learning Expectations. Our faculty and staff have worked hard over the last three years to revise the School-wide
Learning Expectations and make them a living part of the school program. We are committed to forming our
students into lifelong learners who possess integrity and deep sense of spirituality. This goal will help us fulfill
our mission of, “strengthening the God-given capabilities of each child in a loving Catholic community.” We
are committed to developing these characteristics in our
students through the development and refinement of
our curriculum and teacher and staff modeling.
Goal #2: Christ the King Catholic School faculty
and staff will increase student learning by creating and
facilitating smoother transitions between grade levels.
Teachers and administrators are actively engaged in the
analysis of student test score data in order to improve
teaching and student learning. Creating a framework
for teachers to communicate about student learning as
they matriculate through Christ the King will create
more clarity during grade level transitions, inform
students and empower parents. This goal will help
us fulfill our philosophy of, “affirming parents are the
primary educators of their children.”
Goal #3: “Christ the King Catholic School faculty
and staff will focus professional development on
Understanding by Design in order to increase teacher
effectiveness and student learning.” Educational
research confirms that the strongest indicator of
student learning is directly correlated to the proficiency
of the teacher. Continuously improving and refining the
knowledge and skills of our professional staff, together
and through a structured framework over time, will
enable all our students to deepen their understanding
and demonstrate growth. This goal aligns closely with
the school’s mission, “to strengthen the God-given
capabilities of each child in a loving Catholic
community” and the core philosophy to “challenge
students to achieve their fullest potential as we prepare
them for future levels of education.

Significant Accomplishments

Foundations in Faith Classroom Renovation Project - As Christ the King Catholic School celebrated its
50th anniversary in 2014, the need to address facility upgrades and renovations within the school had become
a major focus. With this in mind, the School Advisory Council worked closely with both the school and parish
administration and members of the Parish Capital Campaign Fundraising Committee to establish a school
facilities improvement plan that is included as one of the school’s long-term strategic goals.
The top priority identified by the School Advisory Council included renovating the 1st -5th grade classrooms.
With this in mind, the school decided to complete these projects over a two-year period. The Foundations in
Faith Classroom Renovation Project consisted of:
Phase 1 2013-2014 - 1st and 2nd classroom renovations - $110,000
Phase 2 2014-2015 - 3rd, 4th, and 5th classroom renovation - $110,000
The classroom renovations followed a similar model of the recent Kindergarten upgrade and included new
floors, new paint, new cabinets, new drop ceiling grids with energy efficient lighting, new windows as needed,
and electrical prep for future heating and cooling units. Due to the high cost of these renovations, these
projects were not able to be included in the school’s budget.
Last year, with our jog-a-thon and auction paddle bid, we successfully raised a net of approximately $95,000
for the renovation of the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classrooms. After the completion of Phase 1, we had $15,000
remaining in the Foundations in Faith restricted fund. These surplus funds were applied to last year’s
fundraising project. Phase 2 of the Foundations in Faith Classroom Renovation Project was completed this
past summer, and thanks to the generosity of all those who gave to these projects in the past two years, our
1st through 5th grade classrooms have been remodeled and updated. We wish to thank all of the school and
parish families who participated in the 2014 Jog-a-thon or who gave during our Foundations in Faith Paddle
Raise at our CTK “An Evening in Wonderland” 2015 Auction this past year. Thank you for making a
difference in the lives of our students.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the difference between the three
funds supporting CTK?
A. Annual Fund: The Annual Fund appeal
supports the school’s operational budget. The cost
of educating each child exceeds tuition revenue
and the parish subsidy. The Annual Fund helps to
fill this “gap” and maintain lower annual tuition
increases.
Endowment for Education Fund: The Endowment
for Education Fund provides for the long-term
viability of the school. The funds are invested by
the Archdiocese to provide a permanent provision
of support for Christ the King Catholic School.
During the 2014-2015 school year, the
Endowment for Education Fund provided
$20,000 for tuition assistance to our students.
Tuition Assistance (Support-A-Student): Tuition
Assistance aids qualifying Catholic families to pay
tuition, both annually and in cases of emergency.
This year nearly one third of our students received
tuition assistance, ranging from 6 to 80% of
annual tuition cost. The average award is
approximately $1,500.
Q. Why does CTK need an Annual Fund
Appeal?
Tuition and fees only cover 80% of the full cost
to educate a child here; in order to keep tuition
affordable, our school relies on parish subsidy,
parent-led fundraising programs and our
development campaigns such as the Annual
Fund to broaden our base of support and ensure
financial stability.
Q. What is the timeline for the campaigns?
A. Donations are accepted year round. The
Joseph E. Weston Foundation matches up to
$12,500 for non-parent Tuition Assistance and up
to $15,000 for CEED Endowment Fund. This is a
great opportunity to double your gift! The
campaign concludes June 30th, 2016.
Q. Can a person charge a gift, or have donations
automatically deducted from a checking or
savings account?
A. Yes to both! Donors can charge their Annual
Fund gift to their credit card. Gifts can be charged
online at the school website (www.ctkweb.org).
Donors can request gifts be deducted electronically
from a checking or savings account following
completion of a VANCO authorization form
available from the school Development office by
A n n u a l
R e p o r t
2 0 1 4 - 2 0 1 5
calling (503) 785-2418 or checking online at www.
ctkweb.org under the Support CTK link on the CTK
school homepage.
Q. Can my gift be matched by my employer and/
or United Way?
A. Depending on the donor’s employer, most charitable gifts to an elementary school can be matched.
A matching gifts brochure listing participating
employers is available from the school, or a donor
can contact his/her company’s Human Relations
office. United Way contributions also can be directed
to Christ the King Catholic School.
Q. How do the students and school give back to
our parish and local community?
A. Last year, CTK middle school students logged in
over 5410 service hours and our K-8th grade students
collected $2,500 cash, plus over 3,000 lbs. of food
and clothing to various service organizations. Within
our parish, students supported the Altar Society
Holiday Cookie Faire and Madonna House Baby
Shower, St. Vincent de Paul Christmas Food Drive,
Penny Power Campaign for the Downtown Chapel,
plus gave over 300 hours annually in service as altar
servers for liturgies. Other worthy organizations that
our students donated service hours to were Blanchett
House and Camp Exceptional. Our Parish Religious
Education Program, which teaches the Catholic
faith to over 200 children and adults, uses the school
building and equipment weekly and in the summer;
the playground serves as a
neighborhood recreational area
on evenings and
weekends to
local residents.

Help one another. This is what Jesus teaches us.
This is what I do. And I do it with my heart.
I love doing it because this is what the Lord has
taught me. But you too must help us and help
each other, always. And thus in helping each
other we will do good for each other.
~Pope Francis
Philosophy
We strive to model the honesty and humility of Jesus Christ and demonstrate joy in
teaching God’s children. We demonstrate care and compassion for each student and respect
for the dignity of each individual. We affirm that parents are the primary
educators of their children.
We support and assist in the faith formation of students by modeling the teachings and
example of Jesus Christ. We provide an academic foundation for students at every grade.
We challenge students to achieve their fullest potential as we prepare
them for future levels of education.
