 Our
vision is to make a lifelong impact on every student who passes through our doors. Christ the King Catholic School has served the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay for 60 years. We are committed
to providing an excellent standards-based education with a strong emphasis on spirituality and Christ-like behavior. We strive
to prepare our students to be responsible, informed, capable and active citizens of the 21st century.
Christ the King Catholic School is dedicated to fostering the spiritual, cognitive, social,
emotional and physical growth of our students. We accomplish this by providing a loving, nurturing, stimulating, and safe
environment where students are encouraged to explore and question as they discover their strengths and talents, and appreciate
the same qualities in others. We provide sound academic
preparation and a curriculum intended to help each child grow and develop as a responsibile, competent, confident person with
self-discpline, and a commitment to the principles of justice and peace.
