Christ the King students took to the streets for the 2nd annual Christ the King 5k

Last weekend, Christ the King students ran for a cause at the school’s 2nd annual 5k run. Proceeds from the race supported the school’s athletic program and the Casey Tull Memorial scholarship fund. The scholarship fund, named after a former Christ the King student who passed away in an ATV accident in 2011, was created to help with tuition for students requiring assistance.
