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: Brianna is... Loving
What does being at Christ the King mean to you?
My favorite part [about CtK] is the loving atmosphere — there’s an acceptance of each student.
What does the “Loving” characteristic of the Grad-at-Grad mean to you?
Loving means putting judgmental ways aside and accepting that person for who they are.
Dream for the future:
I want to be an attorney-at-law and basically live a great life and perservere through the struggles.
How have you changed since coming to CTK?
I’ve changed, I think, dramatically. Spiritually I’ve changed, with coming closer to God. Socially I’ve changed in being open to others and their ideas and personalities. Academically, I’ve changed by staying on task more.
What has been your greatest challenge while being here?
Taking a breath and calming down; just listening to my teachers and keeping focused on education because I know education comes first.
