Happy Halloween to all of our friends and family from King High School in Tampa Florida.

Thank You to all of the King High Alumni for another successful year.
The King High School l.b./ Alumni Organization was established in 1993, by the first three graduating classes: 1962, 1963, and 1964, for the purpose of renewing and enjoying old friendships, forming new ones, and then in an attitude of thanks, to return to KHS some of the joy we once shared in those hallowed halls. We began the Students Offering Scholarships Fund (S.O.S.), based on the dedicatory recipients of the first three issues of the Clarion, William Stuart, William O'Brien, and Robert Scott, teachers who went out of their way to reach, and love, and inspire their students. It is our goal to reach out to graduating students in a similar way, giving in the form of a scholarship, to a select student embarking upon life's journey. In this cause, we raise our standards high, and invite all graduates to join us "…with strong foundations King did lay, with our ideals in view."
