College Matriculation
Congratulations to the Class of 2023
In its four-year developmental approach, the College Counseling Department empowers students to reflect on their capabilities and ambitions in preparing for life beyond King. The collaboration between our counselors, students, parents, teachers, and colleges helps students find the right match in higher education, as evidenced by the successes we celebrate together.
"As with previous senior classes, the students in the Class of 2023 have emerged as leaders on our campus throughout the past year. What stands out to me about this particular group of students is how they lead with kindness at the forefront. Through their support of one another and our community as a whole, they have established a culture of lifting one another up and celebrating everyone's achievements. This will be their legacy at King, and the 65 institutions they will attend next year will be so fortunate to benefit from their presence on campus,” said Director of College Counseling Jessica Landis.
Our students have done more than develop skills; they have become passionate learners and caring citizens. King graduates land in college confident and prepared. More importantly, they arrive courageous and ready to make an impact in their communities. Our matriculation list reflects an impressive and diverse range of colleges and universities that best fit the unique interests and goals of our students.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
"At King, I learned the importance of staying true to myself and valuing unique perspectives. In college, I look forward to applying the life skills and lessons I’ve gained at King to pursue my study of Communications."
JENNA MACRAE
PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
"I am so grateful to King School; it really was a team effort from my teachers to the Administrators to my college counselor, Mr. Volain. My teachers not only prepared me academically for the college application process, but also took the time to get to know me as a person. The college guidance process starts early at King, as teachers set high expectations for their students and create a plan to help you meet those expectations. Princeton was my dream and they helped make it a reality. I am confident that King has thoroughly prepared me for college and I am excited to be challenged academically and athletically at Princeton. I found King to be a warm and welcoming environment where students support fellow students. I came to King in 10th grade and felt instantly comfortable. My teachers and friends are extremely understanding of my challenging academic and athletic schedule, and support me so that I can thrive in both aspects. Also, our new Head of School, Dr. Karen Eshoo, is an energetic and collaborative leader who is off to a strong start. I believe she has a great vision for King's future and I look forward to coming back to visit King and seeing the growth of the King community."
ANNA PATTEN
COLBY COLLEGE
"I feel very prepared for my next step at Colby College thanks to the King College Counseling department. My College Counselor was always there to help and calm me down and hand out chocolate when I got stressed. I really appreciate King's four year approach to guiding kids through the whole college process as it really helped me. I can't wait to be in Maine next year!"
PAUL NOUJAIM
DUKE UNIVERSITY
"From compiling my list to celebrating my acceptance, King college counseling was with me each step of the way. I've been at King since PreK and I'm thinking about studying Philosophy and Economics in college. I'm beyond excited to begin the next chapter of my life at Duke University."
BLAIR HOLEY
THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM & MARY
"I was offered the perfect amount of flexibility and support from the College Counseling office. I never felt like my wants were being over powered, and Ms. Landis was always incredibly insightful and leading me towards success. I am confident that William & Mary is the perfect school for me! I would not have been able to make it to this point without her guidance."
JAMES HILTON
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
"I would not be where I am today without the help of my college counselor, Ms. Prince, and all the members of the college counseling office. They provided me with all the information I needed and more. Thanks to King, I look at the academic rigor ahead and feel prepared for what is to come. King has taught me a lot and has given me the skills and techniques I will need to succeed in college. Overall, King has been a huge part of my journey to college, and without their outstanding support and guidance, both with academics and outside commitments to rowing, I would not be the person I am today."
HANNAH BERRICK
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS
"The King College Counseling office has been very supportive. They made sure that I was confident in meeting my deadlines and helped me put my best self forward. I love PreCalculus BC and have formed a lifelong mentorship with my teacher, Dr. K. She made me feel confident in my abilities not only as a math student but as a student in general and made sure that I pushed myself to my full abilities. I am thankful for King's encouragement and I am thrilled to become a WashU Bear next year!"
HOPE DESCHAPELLES
VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY
"King College Counseling provided me with all the resources I needed in order to be confident when I "hit send." One of the impressive aspects of this process at King is that it starts as early as freshman year. Whether it be editing supplements, discussing strategy, or calming nerves, the counselors' doors were always open; a steady support system in a time of uncertainty."
