Martin Luther King Jr. High School of the Arts and Technology is one of two small high schools that opened in the former Martin Luther King, Jr., High School in 2002 in an attempt to revive a building that has been plagued by low student achievement and violence. When we visited Arts and Technology students were attentive and participatory in all the classes we saw. The young, highly articulate faculty work together well and convey an infectious enthusiasm to their students.  |
