Meet our Students

One of the salient characteristics of a Jesuit school is the "Graduate at Graduation" statement that sets forth goals and characteristics that a graduate of a Jesuit High School should attain by graduation.  There are five characteristics shared amongst all Jesuit High Schools: Religious, Intellectually Competent, Open to Growth, Loving and Committed to Justice. Christ the King has one additional trait -- Seasoned, Responsible Worker to reflect the unique nature of the school.

Portrait of a CtK Student: Larry is... Committed to Justice

How did you decide to come to CtK?

I felt that CtK was probably the best school to make sure I succeed in my goals of becoming an architect and having a masters degree in business.  The program really inspired me-- it takes you out of the public school and brings you to a smaller environment where you get more time with the teachers.  You also get the chance to work and see what corporate life is all about.

What does being at CtK mean to you? What is your favorite part about going to school here?

I appreciate our staff-- they really make sure you understand and know for sure that you are learning.

What has been your greatest challenge since you've been here?  How have you overcome that challenge?

Being consistent on things-- it seems I have a good day, a bad day. I'm learning to take things one day at a time.  I really take the words that Mr. Hobson [Assistant Principal] says-- "Make this day the best day you've ever had."

What motivates you?

Just to know I have goals and my goals motivate me.  I just want to be successful.  I have a drive to become an architect.  That's my life-long dream.

What does the Committed to Justice quality of the Grad at Grad mean to you? How do you embody that spirit?

I know what to do to make sure all things are fair.  I notice what's fair... ensure that everything is being done right.
