Oklahoma Edge is the Oklahoma State Department of Education’s commitment to giving our students a competitive edge as they pursue college and career. Oklahoma has already strengthened our academic standards and assessments to ensure students are prepared for the real world of work and higher education after they graduate high school. Best of all, with that competitive edge, students will be ready for high-skill jobs and innovative careers after high school graduation and be poised to become great problem-solvers, strategic thinkers and leaders.
Every child, teacher and school can thrive with adequate resources and a vision to succeed. Our goal is to equip all students for life after high school by ensuring they have everything they need to obtain a postsecondary degree or industry certification that reflects their individual passions and skills.

On February 5, high students participated in a health and safety day. Students rotated through 6 sessions lasting about 20 minutes each. Sessions were presented on substance abuse in minors, prescription medication use, sexting, cyber safety, STDs and healthy eating/ body. All speakers were volunteers. Students seemed very well informed at the conclusion of the day. Chris Snow won a $25 Amazon card, donated by the Quapaw Nation. Speakers included, Billie Burtrum, Krista Pierce (Quapaw Tribe), Jason Brandon (Grand Lake Mental Health), Haley Doherty, John Millard, Brandt Lloyd, Jake Manning and Laura Price. Quapaw Schools would like to extend their thanks to these speakers, as well as a special thank-you to Ms. Doherty for organizing the event.
High School Parents:
We are pleased to announce that all high school students have been assigned a Chromebook. A policy we are adding for high school Chromebook use is the ability for students to take their Chromebooks home with them. Students will have to pay a $25 usage fee each year to be able to take their Chromebook home with them. The fee can be paid at the high school office.
If you have questions regarding the Chromebooks, please contact Mrs. Bacon at 918-674-2474.
