Our History

Christ the King High School was founded in 1933 as the Antigua Convent School under the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It began as a co-educational institution and later expanded in structure and mission. In 1963, the school moved to Old Parham Road and was renamed Christ the King High School.

The school has been shaped by strong and dedicated leadership over the years. In 1989, it welcomed its first lay principal, followed by continued growth and progress. Since 2018, Mrs. Halima Zachariah has led the school, upholding its values of faith and excellence.
