I am amazed with the quality of education at Bowlegs! The facilities are the best in our county. Our elementary school was awarded the Academic Achievement Award from the State of Oklahoma and our High School Girls Basketball team just won the Academic State Championship for Class A! Our school has a band, art, all sports including weight lifting, basketball, football, track, softball, and baseball. The best little school in Seminole County!

This little school has some of the best facilities of most schools in the state! I am so proud of my school! We have art, music, band, smartboards in every classroom, and we do very good on academics. My parents really like the communication they receive from my school. Our sports teams are getting better, too. I recommend my school to anyone who wants a great place to spend their days.
