      Development


      The school was opened to alleviate overcrowding in surrounding middle schools. It originally included only grades 6-7 and 9-10. Tenth grade students came from Lithonia and Southwest DeKalb High Schools to relieve crowding and also due to the rezoning of DeKalb County. The following year, after a protest by the high school students, the school dropped the sixth and seventh graders and added eighth grade. It became a pure high school with grades 9-12 in the 2003-2004 school year.
      MLK's current principal is Harvey.


      Feeder school


      Salem Middle School is the middle school feeder to MLK.


      International Baccalaureate Diploma


      MLK implemented the International Baccalaureate Diploma program during the 2004-2005 school year, and it continues to produce top students each year.
