Martin Luther King Jr. High School is a public high school located in Cleveland, Ohio. It is part of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.[4] The school nickname is King.
The school was built in 1973. Like many schools that opened in the 10 years after the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the school was named in honor of the famed civil rights movement leader.
The school has two "Small Schools" located in it, providing focused learning for students interested in the medical and law industry. The classes use hands on experiences to prepare teens for college in these fields:[4]
