Christ King Home and School Association
Christ King Home & School Association is an organization of motivated school families dedicated to the improvement of the educational, spiritual and social development of the students at Christ King School through communication and volunteerism.
It is our mission to promote volunteerism of school families and foster open lines of communication between the School and Home. We strive to have all the families enrolled at Christ King School be actively involved in the operation of our School. We believe that we can best serve our children by the demonstration of our Catholic Faith by gifting our time and talents to Christ King School. We believe charity is a virtue best taught by example.
