Who’s Who at the King School
Cheryl Mason is often the first face that greets people as they come through the doors at the King school. She opens the door, answers the phone, deciphers jumbled questions, comforts the needy and points folks in the right direction, all done with a smile. Cheryl has been there for all the ups and downs over the years of her tenure at the King and has her finger on the pulse of the school. Read more >>
