Thank you for the support you have given to CTKCS during the month of January. It has been another busy month with many activities. We are ending the month by celebrating Catholic Schools Week and completing registration for the 2017-2018 school year.
National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2017 is January 29 - February 4. Schools typically observe National Catholic Schools Week with Masses, open house and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.

not be necessary for siblings to come on the “Open Applications” date.
Tuition Assistance 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 Catholic 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 and the Church, and will only cover tuition for Catholic Families, 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 Catholic Families. Please complete the online application found on our website.
