Christ the King School (Atlanta)

CKS was established in 1937 by the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart. It is overseen by the Archdiocese of Atlanta. However, these were discontinued in 1958 when St. Pius X Catholic High School opened. It is located at 46 Peachtree Way NE in Georgia. The mission statement is: "Christ the King School, a nurturing, Christ-centered environment based on the Catholic tradition, fosters academic excellence, individual responsibility, spirituality, and growth of the whole child." In the fall of 2019, CKS opened a new building with science labs, a music room, a news room, and middle school classrooms. This was the result of a $30 million capital campaign. == Students and faculty ==
