We are excited to announce our latest outstanding alumni honored in 2017. Matt Dixon, a 1980 Okeene graduate, attended Oklahoma State University and received his degree in Power Technology. After working for Purina, he and his wife, Rae took a leap of faith and founded Mountain Country Foods with his partner, Doug Ford, right back here in their hometown of Okeene in 2000. Today, they employ over 300 people and offer thousands of products including but not limited to crunchy, soft & chewy, sausage style, jerky-like, baked kibble, & horse treats. We are also grateful to have their daughters, Kylie and Meghan, and their families in our community and school. Matt should be commended for building up our community and serving others. Next time, you are shopping for dog treats, check the label for "Made in Okeene, OK"! #legacyliveshere

Our elementary TAG students enjoyed a fall field trip to the Sam Noble Natural History Museum this week! On the way home, they stopped at Kingfisher Park followed by Mrs. Bisel’s traditional stop at Braum’s!🍦 What made this trip extra special was having Mr. Slater along and seeing him jump right into the fun! From exploring alongside the students to playing with them at the park, he took every opportunity to connect with our kids. We’re thankful for a principal who shows up, joins in, and makes our students feel valued. It’s easy to see why the kids love him so much! 🐾
