Art students were appointed to paint murals on the walls of King Philip which were started in the fall of 1978.

The football team played Foxboro under the lights in a spectacular at Schaefer Stadium. The Warriors defeated F oxboro by a score of 7-0, scored on a fabulous kickoff return by John Lewicki. The girl's cross country team finished their season second in the Hockomock League. The girls' tennis team was the league champion. The girls' soccer team began on a junior varsity level. It was expanded to a varsity level the next year. Student of King Philip held a demonstration against the possiblity of war in Iran after fifty-two Americans were taken hostage in the embassy. In 1980, all freshman organized sports were cut. As of 1982, students will have to pay a fee to join organized sports. At the end of the 1980 school year Mr. Raymond Hill, the Band director for twenty-three years took an early retirement. He was replaced by Mr. Steve Elman, and in the first year under his direction, the band entered in three competitions, placing third, fourth out of five, and fifth out of six. A jazz ensemble was also formed. In reflection, the rapid growth of King Philip can be accredited to both the faculty and students, for without their long hours and dedication, the goals of the original building committee would never have been achieved.
