Alumni
The Power of Connection
King School represents an evolving community that derived from five distinct institutions – Low-Heywood School, The King School, Thomas School, Low-Heywood Thomas and King Low Heywood Thomas. These schools, each with rich histories and cultures of their own, have evolved into a cohesive community of alumni who embrace the diverse traditions and values of their founding institutions.
There is no better representation of the important history that makes up the fabric of today’s King than our alumni community. As dear members of our community, we hope you'll come back to campus, read Quest magazine, and remain connected with your favorite teachers and coaches.
