Dear MLK Staff, Students, Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to another year at Martin Luther King Jr., High School. We offer a structured nurturing environment where students both learn and thrive to become the best they can be. MLK is a fully accredited high school with an outstanding Credit Recovery program that enables students to successfully complete deficient credits. We are proud to note that The Middle States Association Validation Team stated in their team report, “…. the Validation Team was very impressed and in awe of what this school does for its students. The staff’s work shows a level of caring that far exceeds that of its peers in most public high schools. This staff not only brings academic content to students, but allows these students to thrive in a loving environment that many of them have never experienced. The dedication of the staff to MLK and its students makes this a very special place. …. Martin Luther King Jr., High School is a “safe haven” for these kids. It is a place to come to ride out the storms in their young lives. It is a place that these students love and appreciate.”
MISSION STATEMENT:
The Mission of the Martin Luther King Jr., High School is to create a welcoming, positive and safe environment for all students in which each student has worth, dignity and which supports the best interest of each child. We strive to implement a differentiated education program which will allow all students to advance at their own level and will prepare them to successfully excel in a challenging global community. We provide students with a responsive, supportive, dedicated and professional staff who will educate and counsel each child to achieve their personal best.
BELIEF STATEMENT:
We the shareholders of MLK believe that…
• All students can learn, achieve and succeed
• All students have worth and dignity
• All students are entitled to a safe learning environment
• All students deserve a responsive, supportive and dedicated staff
In conclusion, I am reminded of the words of the poet Max Lucado.
What ignites your heart? Heed the fire within!
Do you have a passion to sing? Then sing!
Are you stirred to manage? Then manage!
Do you ache for the ill? Then treat them!
Do you hurt for the lost? Then teach them!
Sincerely,
Paul Tobin
Principal
