Students in grades 8 through 11 may apply for Oklahoma's Promise, a tuition payment program in Oklahoma. It is income-based. Students may apply at okpromise.org. Educators' children qualify.
We are working on pre-enrolling grades 7-12 for the 2026-2027 school year. I am speaking with current sophomores and juniors and concurrent enrollment (college classes while in high school) along with their career tech and general education enrollment. I am sending information with students who have expressed interest in concurrent classes and have several yet to visit with. If you are interested in your student taking concurrent classes, please feel free to email me to see if they qualify. Juniors may take 9 hours tuition free at NWOSU and senior 18 hours. Students are required to pay for fees (approximately $150) and books.
Career Showcase is a brand new career exploration event that allows participants to explore OSU-OKC and some of OSUIT's programs that lead to careers in high-demand fields through hands-on activities, demonstrations, program tours, and information sessions. Participants also interact with many of our industry partners during this event.
**Bonus** Since this is a career exploration event, it is an excellent opportunity for high school students to fulfill key ICAP requirements.
This event is for 9th-12th students, Career Tech students, and adult learners, as well as Career Tech and high school teachers, counselors, and administrators.

Congrats to Mackenzie Bosscawen 2nd place 105 lbs weight class and congrats to Makenzi Casio on first place in the 123 lbs weight class. Another Coach Shryock made her coaching debut as well. Great job all the Trojans powerlifters today.

S-M powerlifting teams at Laverne today! Everyone worked hard and represented the Trojans well!

The Dalton Shryock Memorial Scholarship was established to honor the life of a man who moved through the world with equal parts intellect, strength, and heart. A proud graduate of Sharon Mutual, Dalton returned to these same halls to serve as a science teacher and coach, completing a circle of dedication to his community. āHe was a man of many chapters: a voracious reader who was never without a book; a dedicated educator who fueled curiosity; and a steadfast coach who built character on and off the field. Above all, he was defined by his devotion to those he loved. As a father to three daughters, a protective brother to twin sisters, a loving son, and a "one-of-a-kind" friend, he was the anchor for everyone around him.
āOur Goal:
This scholarship seeks to support a graduating senior who embodies these same qualitiesāsomeone who demonstrates academic curiosity, a commitment to their "team" (sports team, school club, church or family), and a genuine, protective kindness toward others. We are looking for a student who doesnāt just strive for personal success, but who lifts others up along the way.
Applications for the scholarship are in Mrs. Hopper's Google Classroom along with other local scholarships which all seniors have access to. The application must be completed and submitted through Google Classroom and is due by April 15, 2026.
