Dear CKS Supporter,
Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year. We are excited to partner together to
educate the hearts, minds, and spirits of future servant leaders through rigorous and
relevant academics infused with Catholic values. Our positive, faith filled
environment will guide our students in their love of learning and discovery as we
allow our students to experience a fuller presence of Christ.
Thank you for your support and dedication to Christ the King Catholic School as we
live our mission and continue our tradition of Academic Excellence in a Catholic
environment. Your passion to provide the best for our students allowed for another
wonderful year and we look forward to the blessings that this year brings our way.
God, Family, Christ the King
