EC Assistant Principal Letter
Dear ANCS Families,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year!!!
My name is Nicole King, and I’m honored to serve as the Assistant Principal of the Elementary Campus at Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School. Whether you’re new to ANCS or returning for another year, I’m so happy you’re here—and I’m excited for all the possibilities this new school year brings.
A little about me: I’m the proud mother of two amazing girls, the beach is my happy place, and my Trinidadian and Guyanese heritage is a deep part of who I am. This is my 8th year as an Assistant Principal, my 20th year in education, and my 11th year at ANCS. I choose to serve as a school leader here, at this school, because I believe in the heart of what we do.
At ANCS, decisions are made with students at the center. Every decision, every plan, every conversation is rooted in what is best for our kids—not just academically, but socially, emotionally, and developmentally. Our faculty and staff are passionate, intelligent, and deeply committed to creating learning experiences that our students will never forget—experiences that help them make meaning of the world, build confidence, and grow as thoughtful, capable people.
Our families are not only supportive, but powerful advocates for the work we do. And our board members work tirelessly to uphold the core values—our pillars—that make ANCS so special: our commitment to constructivism, equity, community, and whole-child education.
We believe children learn best when they’re actively engaged, when their ideas are valued, and when they have space to ask questions, solve problems, and collaborate with others. We’re not just teaching subjects—we’re nurturing humans. That’s what makes our school so special and so unique.
As I continue to grow as an educator and leader, I’m also continuing my own education—currently working toward my Education Specialist degree in Tier II Educational Leadership at Kennesaw State University. I believe that learning is lifelong, and I’m excited to bring what I learn back to our school community to better support our students, families, and staff.
As we begin this year together, please know how excited I am to support your children, partner with you, and work alongside an incredible team of educators. It’s a true privilege to be part of this community.
Here’s to a joyful and meaningful school year.
Go Wolves!
