With the announcement of Karen and Diane's retirement, the TKA Board of Trustees formed a Headmaster Search Committee with the charter to find a new Headmaster. After reviewing and assessing many applications, conducting phone and face to face interviews; the Search Committee recommended an ideal candidate. After being interviewed by both the Trinity EPC Session and The King's Academy Board of Trustees, Mr. Wilson was approved to be TKA's new Headmaster.
