Welcome to the Lion's Den! I consider it a privilege to serve this community and our students as the Principal of C. Leon King High School. Our lions have a long and proud tradition of excellence in academics, the arts and athletics. At King, we strive to create a space where students, teachers, parents, staff and the community can collaborate to continue the tradition of excellence established by the thousands of alumni who have gone on to have a positive impact on our society.  There are high expectations for citizenship in our school community, and we believe in a high level of engagement by all stakeholders to ensure our young people have the support they need to excel as a learner while being exposed to a curriculum designed to prepare them for their future. This sort of collaboration has proven to make a difference in education, and we provide our students with the opportunity to reach their potential. We look forward to partnering with you to help our students achieve success.

Many Lions, One Pride.

Gregory Basham, Ed. D., Principal
