This week, we proudly join districts across Oklahoma in recognizing the powerful impact public schools have on our students, families, and community.

Public schools are the heart of our community. They are where future leaders are developed, lifelong friendships are formed, talents are discovered, and opportunities are created for every child. Public schools strengthen local communities, fuel economic growth, and help shape responsible, engaged citizens. They are more than buildings, they are the foundation of our future.

To our incredible staff: Thank you for pouring your time, talent, and heart into our students every single day. Your dedication shapes futures far beyond the classroom walls.

To our families: Thank you for your partnership, trust, and support. When schools and families work together, our students thrive.

At McAlester Public Schools, we remain committed to Engaging Minds, Inspiring Hearts, and Pursuing Excellence and that happens because of the strong community standing behind our Buffaloes. #1HERD #PublicSchoolProud
