King Elementary

Principal's Message

Welcome to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School. As the principal, I have the honor and privilege to collaborate with staff and parents to ensure that the education of our students is both rewarding and challenging.

The King staff consists of “highly qualified” professionals who believe that all students can learn. Teachers participate in weekly staff development with the goal of improving skills to provide a curriculum that is rigorous and standards-based. Many academic programs including Benchmark Tutoring, English Language Learner Intervention, Gifted and Talented Education (GATE), and the King Dream Team After School Enrichment Program support our curriculum.

Our parent volunteers also participate in conferences and workshops. Parents provide school leadership through participation on the School Site Council, English Learner Advisory Committee, and the PTA. Parents can be seen throughout the day volunteering on the campus to benefit our children. At King, we pride ourselves on being a community where everyone is involved. Our motto is “It Takes a Village To Raise a Child.” Thus, we welcome and encourage support from our community.
