The Lower School buzzed with energy and imagination during the second annual STEAM Morning. Over the course of the event, students and families partnered to solve real-world challenges through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Lessons came alive with engaging Novel Engineering projects inspired by beloved children’s literature, including “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” “The Circus Ship,” and “Maddi’s Fridge.” The stories sparked thoughtful engineering solutions to topics like food preservation, animal care, and flooding. Recyclable materials collected ahead of time played a key role in the designs, reinforcing sustainable practices.

Four Varsity Girls teams delivered statement performances this week, highlighted by dominant league wins and historic milestones.

Girls Golf made program history with wins over Sacred Heart and Greenwich Academy, and Varsity Softball added two key FAA wins, including a 13-0 shutout and a 4-2 road triumph. With momentum building across all squads, the Vikings are proving they’re a force to be reckoned with this spring season.

King School is proud to announce that Dr. William Schpero KLHT ’06, a distinguished health economist and assistant professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, will serve as the keynote speaker for the 2025 commencement ceremony. Initially scheduled to speak last year, unforeseen circumstances prevented his attendance, and King is thrilled he will join this year. Dr. Schpero, a proud alumnus of King Low Heywood Thomas, focuses his research on Medicaid and the U.S. health care safety net, aiming to reduce racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in healthcare. His work has been published in leading academic journals and featured in major media outlets. With his deep commitment to health equity and his inspiring professional journey, Dr. Schpero is an ideal figure to address and celebrate the achievements of the Class of 2025.
