Diocesan Funded Academic Expansion Building
Christ the King Catholic High School is thrilled to announce the fully funded plans for expanding our academic building and campus footprint, made possible by the Diocese of Charlotte and Catholic Schools Office. This expansion will strengthen our ability to provide a top-tier Catholic education while fostering a vibrant community of faith, academics, and leadership.
Since opening its doors in 2011 with a student body of fewer than 100, Christ the King Catholic High School has been blessed by the Diocese’s unwavering generosity and commitment to our growth. Their continued investment in expanding the educational footprint of our campus has enabled us to meet the evolving needs of our growing community. This latest project will not only support our academic facilities but will also complete the unfinished portion of the Fulford Athletic and Activity Complex, enhancing the student experience and ensuring we can offer both academic and athletic excellence for years to come.
The new building will extend off the existing Fulford Athletic & Activity Complex.
