College history

''Christ the King College'' was started in 1940 in the Civil Lines by the first bishop of Jhansi, Bishop Francis Xavier Fenech from Malta, Europe. The first principal was Br. Leo ( OFM, CAP) from Mahim, Bombay. He remained as principal for 18 years in C.K.C. In 1940, the school was shifted to the present ''St. Joseph’s School'' in the cantonment area. The first headmaster of C.K.C. was Mr. Eric D'Souza. Initially, the school was recognised by Senior Cambridge, but the students also had the option of appearing for the Uttar Pradesh State Board. The recognition of the ICSE/ISC Board was obtained in 1975 by Fr. Tony Late. The first batch of ICSE (X) was passed out in December 1976. In 1977, the academic year was changed from January-December to April-March, and therefore, the first batch of ISC (XII) passed out in March 1979. Fr. Augustine took over, and during his tenure, the school touched its zenith, with many students being selected in IITs, PMTs, Olympiads, the NDA, and various exams at the national, state, and regional level. Due to the increasing number of students, the school did not get permission to expand in the cantonment area, and the primary section was constructed and shifted to civil lines in 1978.
