Vision

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School will produce self-determined learners through an African American Immersion educational experience. We will utilize the arts as a tool and vehicle to raise dignity and equip all learners with the necessary skills for high academic achievement and pro-social behavior, preparing them for transformative engagement with our families and in their communities and world.
