Muskogee Public Schools was proud to host the HEROES Literacy Team for a powerful day of professional learning and connection!

We welcomed 70 attendees representing 18 school districts as part of the #PagesAcrossThePlains regional workshop. Participants engaged in meaningful conversations around literacy, dyslexia, and supporting all learners.

ECHS Bridge Camp 2025!

This week, incoming freshmen attended our ECHS Bridge Camp! Early College High School, in partnership with Connors State College, gives students the chance to graduate with both a high school diploma and an Associate's Degree. During camp, students participated in team-building activities, helped clean up the Connors State College campus, and learned from upperclassmen as they prepare to officially join the program.

Attention All Students, Parents, and Staff: From June 28 through July 6, all District Athletic facilities will be off limits to students entering grades 6-12 due to the OSSAA Dead Week.

Coaches are allowed to perform maintenance tasks such as cleaning storage areas, mowing fields, and office work during this period. However, all athletic facilities will be completely off limits to all 6th-12th grade students to avoid negatively affecting eligibility for both Coaches and Students. Thank you for your cooperation!
