History

It originally included four schools, two of which were precursors to Sooner Elementary School and Soldier Creek Elementary School. A total of 1,250 students were enrolled in the second year of the school system.

The first permanent school building was dedicated in 1944, after two years of using temporary buildings. It cost $314,000 and was funded through the Lanham Act and Federal Works Agency. The building today houses Jarman Middle School.
