BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL
In 2005, Christ the King School was named a "Blue Ribbon School" by the U.S. Department of Education, a school recognition and improvement program. This fourteen–year–old program identifies and awards national recognition to a diverse group of public and private schools that are unusually effective in meeting local, state, and national goals. The characteristics which singled out Christ the King School as a leader among schools include strong leadership; a clear vision and sense of mission shared by all connected with the school; high–quality teaching; appropriate, up–to–date curriculum; policies and practices that ensure a safe environment conducive to learning; strong parental interest and involvement; and evidence that the school helps all students achieve, no matter what their ability level. Such a mix of high standards, family involvement, and an emphasis on achievement by the students, faculty, and school leadership continues to be a top priority as we prepare our students to become our leaders in the 21st century.
