Father Edward Glynn, S.J., founding President of Christ the King Preparatory School, has decided to step down. He remains deeply committed to our Cristo Rey Network values and mission and will continue to serve in an advisory capacity.

After attending The White House Summit on Inner-City Children and Faith-Based Schools, Fr. Glynn wrote “Cristo Rey schools have become educational and cultural assets to the cities in which they exist and are providing profound life transformi

ng experiences for the students enrolled. We are in the midst of creating here in Newark a Cristo Rey School, Christ the King Prep, to become such an educational and cultural asset for  the City of Newark and a life transforming experience for the youth of Newark.”  This work of creation continues as we celebrate with heartfelt gratitude Father Glynn’s accomplishments and leadership.

During our search for a new President, which is ongoing, I have been asked to serve as both Principal and Interim President. I am honored to serve in this capacity during this time of transition.  Please continue to keep Christ the King Prep in your prayers.  We are excited about all the encouraging and inspiring things that are happening at CTK Prep.  Take a minute to check out our site to find out what's going on.  Also, if you find yourself the neighborhood, I would love to introduce you to our students and staff and show you around 'The School that Works' in Newark.

Sincerely,
Kevin Cuddihy, M.Ed., P.D.

Principal, Interim President
