Martin Luther King Jr. Academy was a four-year (9âÂÂ12) alternative high school of the Gary Community School Corporation in Gary, Indiana, United States. It closed in 2018.
Martin Luther King Jr. Academy opened in 1970 as "Second Chance High School" to educate dropouts and at-risk students. In November of that year, it was renamed by a petition of the student body in honor of civil rights movement leader Martin Luther King Jr., who was assassinated in 1968.
The school was originally located in a storefront on Broadway in Gary's Midtown neighborhood, but later moved to 711 Chase in Ambridge Mann.
