Principal's Corner

Welcome to E.J. King High School

Dear Cobra Families,

IE.J. King MHS is proud to announce that our school has officially earned the AVID Emerging Schoolwide Certification, a distinction awarded jointly by DoWEA and the AVID Center. This recognition reflects the dedication of our staff in meeting—and in many areas exceeding—the rigorous expectations of the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program. Through the comprehensive AVID certification process, schools assess evidence across four key domains: Instruction, Systems, Leadership, and Culture. At E.J. King, AVID is actively integrated into classroom practice using WICOR strategies—Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading—to support student engagement, deepen learning, and build the skills needed for college and career success. This achievement underscores our commitment to ensuring that every student, every day, benefits from high-quality, future‑ready instruction. We are grateful for the support of our DoWEA AVID partners and look forward to continuing to grow our AVID implementation to serve all students. We are looking for rising 6th grade students at Darby and Sasebo Elementary interested in applying to our AVID program for the 2026-2027 school year. We will be sending out information on the application to the elementary schools soon.  Congratulations to Mrs. Bean our AVID Coordinator and our entire E.J. King faculty on this remarkable accomplishment!

Warm regards,
Ms. Jennifer Gamble
Principal
