Welcome to Vista Peak!
Hello Vista Peak Families and Students!
My name is Maliah King, and I am so excited to be a part of the Vista Peak community! Originally from Kansas City, I moved to Arizona in 2023 and have been teaching since 2022. I am continually inspired by my students' potential, and I love creating engaging, scaffolded lessons that help every student succeed and build true confidence in the classroom. When I'm not in the classroom or designing resources, I love spending quality time with my wonderful husband, our three amazing kids, and our dog, Princess!

Partnering for Success
My focus is on creating a supportive, high-energy environment where every student feels empowered to learn. Outside of school, my daughter has caught the performing bug and does theater as a fun hobby—a passion we love sharing! I look forward to bringing that same creative spark and collaborative spirit into our classroom community every single day.
