    Beginning in the 2018-19 school year, Martin Luther King, Jr. Career Center (KCC) has rebranded into Martin Luther King, Jr. Technical High School (King Tech) by adding full-time students. For the first time in our 44-year history, we became a fully accredited high school and has graduated many of our students from King Tech.
