Okeene Public School

This week, we honored a power couple who graduated from Okeene in 1953, Leon and Nancy Jewell. They were recognized as Okeene's Outstanding Alumni in 2011. He was a member of the US Army Band and joined the Band Masters Hall of Fame after 30 years of teaching at Enid Schools. He also directed the Tri-state Music Festival. His wife, Nancy, was a teacher for 47 years. She was an Oklahoma Education Assn. (OEA) President, a member of the NEA Board of directors and a delegate to the World Confederation of Teaching Profession. The impact this couple has made as they devoted themselves to educating and helping others is outstanding! Leon passed away in 2015. #legacyliveshere

The FAFSA helps determine eligibility for federal and state financial aid, scholarships, grants, and work-study opportunities (True for college scholarships and career tech financial aid). Parents and students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible and work with the Okeene High School counselor if they need assistance. Students who choose not to complete the FAFSA may satisfy the graduation requirement by submitting the appropriate opt-out form, as provided by Oklahoma law.
