Rufus King International High School is a great place to teach and learn! Our teachers are committed to a high-quality learning experience focused on the individual needs of each student. Our school community has a long-standing tradition of excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts. In my 28 years in education, I have never worked with a more dedicated group of professionals than Rufus King educators and staff! We are committed to preparing students to be productive global citizens and lifelong learners in an ever-changing world.

Our school community is grounded in the values of respect, responsibility, and achievement. Together we strive for excellence, encouraging students to take full advantage of our diverse International Baccalaureate academic programmes. Learning opportunities at King also include an abundance of extracurricular activities.

Parents and caregivers play a vital role in their students’ high school experience. Collaborating with families to support the growth and success of every student is one of the best parts of my work as your principal. By building strong relationships and fostering a safe and inclusive environment, we can create a school community that thrives on kindness, understanding, and mutual support.

A busy campus like ours thrives on family engagement. I encourage all parents and caregivers to become involved, stay informed, and stay connected to Rufus King International School news, governance groups, financial aid, and graduation workshops and more.

If you need general information or wish to directly contact staff at the high school, you may use our staff directory, call (414) 267-0700, or visit our Families page.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Go Generals!
