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 21^st 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 responsible, competent, confident person with self-discipline, and a commitment to the principles of justice and peace.

February Letter from the Principal

Dear Parents,

Thank you for the support you have given to CKCS during the month of January. It has been another busy month with many activities. We are beginning the month of February by celebrating Catholic Schools Week and completing registration for the 2012-2013 school year.

Catholic Schools Week Schedule
We will celebrate Catholic School's Week from January 30 - February 3. We look forward to seeing you at the many activities planned for this week.

Tuesday    Spaghetti/Bingo Night hosted by PTO
Thursday    Teacher Appreciation Luncheon by PTO
                   Parent Open House - 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.

Registration 2012 - 2013
I am grateful to all who have returned registration and fees. If you do not return the registration form and fees, your child will not be placed on the 2012-2013 class list. Their places will be given to other students registering during Open Applications. It is our wish that Catholic education is available to all Catholics who desire to receive it, irrespective of their financial situation. If you need an extension on the time for payment, please call me.

Open Applications for students entering Kindergarten for next year will be accepted on February 14 and for Grades 1-8 on February 15. This year it will not be necessary for siblings to come on the "Open Applications" date. I will call to set up interviews at your convenience when we receive your application.

Tuition Assistance
During this tough economic time, providing your child with a Catholic Education is more of a sacrifice than it ever has been. Christ the King Catholic School uses the FACTS program to determine if a family qualifies for tuition assistance. This is an online application that must be completed before any assistance can be given. The assistance given to families comes from the school, with help from the Church, and will only cover tuition, not registration fees. Since we are a Catholic School, we do not receive any federal funds or grants to help with tuition. We have a limited amount of money that can be given to qualifying families. Please complete the online application or contact the school office for more information.

No Classes - Mardi Gras
Please note that there will be no classes on February 20 and 21 due to Mardi Gras holidays. There will be no extended day care on these days.

Messages and Reminders
When you see an email message from Alerts@useiris.com, please read it as it is from our Immediate Response Information System.

Be sure to let the office know if your email address changes.
