Pansy Kidd Middle School is a middle school located in Poteau, Oklahoma in the U.S., as part of the Poteau School District.
[edit] History
In 1912, Pansy Ingle came to Poteau, a graduate of Indiana University with a Masters' Degree in English and Library Science. [1] She taught third grade until 1915 when she married Frank Kidd; she then had to quit teaching due to a school board regulation preventing married female teachers.
Pansy resumed teaching 1921 when the regulation was changed. In all, she taught over 40 years and was called by many, "Dean of Poteau's Teachers." Mrs. Kidd organized the beginning of the Junior High School, which later became a Middle School and was renamed in her honor.
