Circuit Judge Kevin King was a graduate of Highland High School in 1972, the University of Arkansas in 1976, and the University of Arkansas School of Law in 1978. He served the counties of Sharp, Lawrence, Randolph, and Jackson counties as Circuit Judge of the Third Judicial District. Judge King was always concerned about the welfare of students. The Kevin King Memorial Scholarship was established to assist students with their post high school studies.
$40,000 in scholarships have been presented since the inception of this memorial to honor Judge King’s dedication to our youth.
