Our Royalty

Dr. A.C. Liles, III

King Sparta LXXIII

Our reigning monarch, Dr. A.C. Liles, III, shines both on the parade route and in the classroom! King Sparta LXXIII serves as an Associate Professor–Clinical at the LSU Health Sciences Center School of Dentistry, Department of Comprehensive Dentistry. Before returning to shape future smiles, he proudly built and operated his own general dentistry practice in Kenner, Louisiana, following his graduation from LSU Dental School in 1992.

At home, King Sparta rules with love alongside his beautiful wife, Carol Ann Liles. Together, they proudly raise two accomplished daughters, Ainsley and Avery—both gracing the court this evening in true royal style!

Laissez les bons temps rouler as we celebrate a King whose legacy is service, family, and Spartan pride!
