Pending a name change approval from the board of trustees, the school would become the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Arts Academy and will offer piano, dance, vocal music and visual art.
Upcoming pre-kinder through 5th grade students will be able to apply for the 2020-2021 school year. The school will add a grade each year to up to eighth grade.
Students who live in the current MLK Jr. attendance zone will get priority admission to the campus, and those currently attending MLK Jr. can continue their education at the school.
Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts students will mentor MLK students.
The school has seen tremendous growth, rising from an “F” to a “B” school.
Families can learn more about the future Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Arts Academy at Discover Dallas ISD on Sat., Nov. 2, 9 a.m.–1 p.m., at W.H. Adamson High School.
