JANUARY 24, 2025 THE CATHOLIC WEEK PAGE 9 WHAT THEY’RE SAYING: “Christ the King Catholic School is a place close to my heart. I love volunteering and getting the opportunity to walk in the hallways, where I can see the students’ artwork and class projects displayed in the windows. It is a sneak peek into what they have been working on. The school Mass is always special, especially seeing the students actively participating. I’m so proud to send my children to a place I once called home.” Mary Ruckart CTK alumna, PTO treasurer "As an alumna and current teacher at Christ the King, I can confidently say that having our children in Catholic schools has always been a priority for our family. We are so thankful for Christ the King, where our children not only receive an excellent education but also grow in their faith. They are able to learn in a Christ-centered environment, where Jesus is at the heart of everything they do every day."

Each of my teachers always made sure to start our class with a prayer. As an educator now, I use a lot of what I learned from my past teachers to incorporate into my classroom now. Corpus Christi always made sure to keep Christ at the forefront of our education. I am so thankful for that!” Gabby Seibert, class of 2014 "It is an honor and blessing to teach at Corpus Christi Catholic School due to everyone in our learning community: dedicated teachers, eager students and supportive parents. Coming from a background in public education, being able to share my Catholic faith with my class brings me joy every day."

Our dedicated teach- ers adhere to an academically challenging curriculum, while also ensuring that there are ample opportunities for nurturing each child’s creativity.
