 Alum Breaks Record in Spare Time
2011 graduate, Tia Keitt has certainly been making her presence known at King College since her arrival in the fall. Tia plays guard for the Tornados and as a freshman has managed to crack the starting lineup. Tia has not allowed her commitment to playing sports to interfere with her studies as she currently has all "A's" and one "B", a true depiction of "student athlete." School has obviously kept her quite busy. However, Tia has managed to find some free time, and in that free time she competes for the Lady Tornado Track Team as a triple jumper and long jumper. Tia not only is the team leader in both events, but has also managed to "jump" her way to the top of the record books by recording a school best 18'4 1/4" in the long jump. Tia missed qualifying for the NCAA National Meet requirements by two inches. Not bad, for a "spare time" performance! Congratulations Tia! |

Fairy Tale: The Ever After
| |
The Spring production for the Dominion Middle & High School Theater classes is almost here! They will be performing May 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
 The fairy-tale world is under a curse: Sleeping Beauty has insomnia, Snow White is on the verge of insanity, and Cinderella has lost her faith in magic. These and other fairy-tale characters have gathered in a castle for protection from a dragon which threatens to bring their "ever after" to an unhappy end. Into the midst of their despair steps a mysterious knight. The castle is divided: some think the knight will slay the dragon; others doubt salvation is possible. The action builds to a final, climatic battle between the forces of good and evil. Along the way, the characters must face their own frailty, rediscover lost faith, and witness the power of the Storyteller.
