HUNTERSVILLE — During these unprecedented times, the Christ the King Catholic High School community is relying upon our faith – born from hope – to provide assurance, stability and inspiration.
Scripture reminds us that “faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Heb 11:1).
Together we are moving all fronts of the school forward, from a comprehensive distance learning program to new strides in our campaign to build a new Athletic & Activity Complex. The teachers and our benefactors are the real heroes during this time. Both groups are demonstrating courageous self-sacrifice during an uncertain time.
Christ the King High School has a holistic educational vision based upon the pillars of faith and reason. As such we are committed to ensuring that students are developing spiritually, intellectually, physically and emotionally. The vision for the new Athletic & Activity Complex is an important part of this commitment.
Thanks to the support of diocesan leadership who approved directing a recent N.C. Department of Transportation refund to our Athletic & Activity Complex building project for work the school completed on Shiloh Church Road, the campaign has witnessed a $400,000 increase. In addition, CTK’s Silver and Blue fundraising committee has made a $50,000 gift to the campaign to honor the 2018-19 and 2019-20 development efforts.
We are thrilled to announce our campaign total has now reached $4.25 million.
Since our establishment in 2011, the Christ the King High School community has thrived thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of so many. For this reason, the school asks for your prayers and support as we continue our “Grounded in Faith – Building our Future” capital campaign.
Currently the team is working on the final steps to reach the Level 2 goal of $4.5 million.
We are less than 7 percent away from reaching that goal. This threshold will enable us to complete the gymnasium, locker rooms, coaches’ offices and full-size stage – ensuring our Athletic & Activity Complex serves as a gathering space for our entire school community through artistic performances, athletic competitions and liturgical celebrations.
Ultimately, our overall plan is still to reach the Level 3 goal of $5.5 million to complete the entire project. What better gift can we give our Crusaders, upon their return from distance learning, than the news that their school will soon be getting a new gathering space to help strengthen our community?
