Neighborhood Celebration: Check out King Middle School

King Middle School hopes to make a splash at the upcoming Neighborhood Celebration this Saturday (Oct. 2), and yes, we’d love to have them bring their newly renovated, reopened and reinvigorating pool — the only one of its kind in the district. King Middle serves a pivotal role in the south Atlanta area as one of the feeder schools to Maynard H. Jackson High School (this year’s host site for the Celebration).

King Middle School receives state honors

Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School continues its commitment to improving teaching and learning. Just recently, State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox announced the winners of the second annual Superintendent’s Distinguished Achievement Awards. These awards honor schools for high achievement and the greatest improvement on state curriculum tests.

“We are honoring schools that showed the greatest improvement and highest achievement on our state tests,” said  Cox. “These awards are just a small way of saying ‘thank you’ for the hard work put in by our teachers, students and school communities.”
