When the Perimeter School campus moved into its new building, a young Lindsay King stepped through its doors alongside her two brothers. The family would spend eight formative years within its walls, a period that still colors her daily decisions as a mother, household manager, and active church participant. Today, Lindsay lives in Johns Creek with her husband Tony, their three children — Ella, Tucker, and Riley — and two energetic dogs, all nestled in a neighborhood that still feels like an extended Perimeter family.
Growing up in the Perimeter School environment
Perimeter’s reputation for academic rigor was a frequent topic among Lindsay’s graduating class. While the competition could be intense, it forced her to develop study habits that proved essential throughout college and beyond. She often jokes that her oldest brother, Evan, “stole all the smart genes,” yet the truth is that the school’s emphasis on critical thinking and collaborative learning gave her the tools to persevere when subjects proved challenging. Participation in the school’s sports programs further reinforced the value of teamwork teaching her how to set collective goals, push through obstacles, and celebrate victories together.
Beyond the classroom and the field, Perimeter introduced Lindsay to a vibrant arts scene. Regular poetry recitals and read-aloud sessions ignited a love for public speaking that later guided her college major. Those early stages of confidence-building are what she now credits for feeling comfortable addressing groups, whether at a church gathering or a school function. The exposure to varied artistic expressions also helped her forge friendships with peers who shared creative passions, connections that have endured well into adulthood.
From classroom to college and beyond
After graduating, Lindsay enrolled at Georgia College & State University, where a former Perimeter classmate hired her for the campus intramural program. The role not only kept her love for sports alive but also placed her within a network of student-leadership initiatives, most notably Campus Outreach. It was through this ministry that she met Tony, a fellow graduate whose own journey had been shaped by Perimeter’s community. Their shared background created an instant bond, eventually leading to marriage and a partnership rooted in mutual faith and service.
College intramural work and the start of a lifelong partnership
The intramural job was more than a paycheck; it was a conduit for Lindsay to practice the leadership skills honed at Perimeter. Coordinating teams, scheduling games, and mentoring younger athletes mirrored the responsibilities she would later assume as a household manager. The experience also taught her how to communicate clearly under pressure — a skill she describes as “the backbone of every successful family meeting.” Tony’s involvement in the same outreach circle meant their paths crossed repeatedly, turning professional collaboration into a personal friendship that blossomed into marriage.
Family life and ongoing service
Today, Lindsay’s primary vocation is caring for her three children, a role she embraces with the same dedication she once gave to school projects. By volunteering at Perimeter School’s parent-teacher activities, she finds fresh avenues for the Lord to work through her imperfections, offering guidance to younger families and reinforcing the “Covenant family” ethos that first nurtured her. The school’s alumni network continues to provide mentorship, with former teachers and parents now offering wisdom on navigating both academic and spiritual challenges.
Her husband Tony participates in a discipleship group that includes husbands of several of Lindsay’s former classmates, creating a modern extension of the support system that once surrounded her as a student. This intergenerational bond demonstrates why the Kings chose Perimeter for their own children: they wanted a community that “carries burdens and spurs one another on.” In this way, the school’s influence reverberates through two generations, shaping not only personal ambition but also the collective spiritual health of their neighborhood.
