Brief History
Christ the King Academy now Liceo de Christ the King, Inc.
Christ the King Academy now Liceo de Christ the King is located within the
agricultural area of Talugtug, Nueva Ecija, along the provincial road.
The institution was founded as Christ the King Institutute of Agriculture in 1950
by Rev. Fr. Henry Zegward. The school building was built on a site approximately four
hectares in area the site was uneven/ hilly as the general topography of the whole town,
However there were some level places which were improved for the playground of the
students. Rev. Fr. William Mahoney was the administrator of the school in 1956- the name
of the school was changed to Christ the King Academy.
In 1960 Rev. Fr. William Mahoney was transferred to San Clemente, Tarlac and the
school was entrusted to Rev. Fr. Hurley. In 1962 a religious priest (MSC) Rev. Fr. Cornelius
Swinkels took over and lasted for seven years from 1962-1969.In 1970 a diocesan priest
was assigned as parish priest and school director in the person of Rev. Fr. Maximo Gomez.
In 1972, Rev Fr. Remegio Baby Malgapo took over, followed by Rev. Fr. Miguel Adriosula.
He initiated to offer agricultural college through Divina Pastora College Extension
Education Program. But unluckily it lasted only for two years.
In 1979 Rev. Fr. Dionisio Esluzar took over. He organized the Parent Teacher
Association.
Rev. Fr. Rolando Mabutol, a very young promising priest was assigned parish priest
and school director in 1984. It was Fr. Rolando Mabutol who initiated the organization of
the Christ the King Alumni Association.
In 1988, a volunteer MSC priest came over in the person of Rev Fr. Henry de Hey.
The directorship of Fr. Henry lasted for ten years from 1988-1998.On July 16, 1990 a killer
earthquake wrought untold damages to houses and buildings. One of the school buildings
was not spared and was totally damaged. Fortunately Fr. Henry was on vacation in Holland
that time, so he had a chance to solicit funds for the construction of a new building- the Fr.
Henry building. This is where the library and the finance office is located.
On May 20, 1998 another very young promising and dynamic priest came over in
the person of Rev. Fr. Rufo Ramil H. Cruz. He initiated the start of a Pre-Elementary and
Elementary education but he stayed only for two years and was transferred to Quezon,
Nueva Ecija. On the Jubilee year of CKA- the director was Rev. Fr. Francisco Umalin- but did
not last long for he was taken by his creator. On his death, Fr. Arleen Ragasa took his place.
Sometime in December 2008, Mr. Miguel de Guzman, the Private School Supervisor
requested all schools in the division of Nueva Ecija who have existed more than 50 years
for Renewal of Government Recognition, CKA- from 1956-2006 celebrated its golden years.
Due to processing of documents, three names of the school were found.
Due to changes on names-SEC advised the school to apply for another name to avoid
penalty- thus LICEO DE CHRIST THE KING, INC. On January 9, 2009 Liceo de Christ the King
has three new buildings- the two buildings was through the effort of the Ursuline Sisters of
Somasca. At present there are six buildings of the High School Department and three
buildings in the Elementary Department and a big gymnasium through the effort of the
Alumni and the PTA/SBO.
