Panama recap 🇵🇦✈️🌴

Our students recently got back from an unforgettable study abroad trip full of adventure, culture, and way too many “wow, I can’t believe we’re here” moments!

They explored the Panama Canal 🚢, hiked through lush rainforest, snorkeled in crystal-clear Caribbean waters 🐠, and experienced UNESCO World Heritage sites that brought history to life.

Along the way, they connected with Panamanian and Guna cultures, tried incredible local food, and even spent time serving at an elementary school and orphanage — making memories that went way beyond the classroom.

Safe to say: this one was a once-in-a-lifetime experience 🌎✨

Students, if you are interested in participating in a future trip to Panama, please reach out to Dr. Ana George.

What an amazing evening with our King alumni at the Bristol Rhythm match! ⚽

Between the beautiful weather, an exciting Rhythm victory, and plenty of Tornado spirit in the stands, it was a night to remember. Thank you to everyone who came out, connected with fellow alumni, and helped make the event so special.

The highlight of the evening wasn't just the win on the field—it was spending time together as a King community. We’re already looking forward to creating more memories with you at our next alumni gathering at the Chattanooga Lookouts game!

Passport stamps, unforgettable memories, and classroom learning brought to life 🇮🇹✈️

This May, 21 King students and faculty spent three weeks exploring Italy through study, culture, and adventure. Students immersed themselves in courses covering Italian language, history, photography, and toxicology while also organizing their own trips to destinations across Europe.

From Montepulciano to Florence, Rome, and beyond, this group returned with new perspectives, stronger connections, and stories they'll be sharing for years to come 🌍📚✨
