History
[edit]The school district originated as a set of schools based solely in Midwest City, which consisted of prefabricated hutments with five teachers and 125 students.[2] It originally included four schools, two of which were precursors to Sooner Elementary School and Soldier Creek Elementary School.[2] A total of 1,250 students were enrolled in the second year of the school system.[2]
The first permanent school building was dedicated in 1944, after two years of using temporary buildings.[5] It cost $314,000 and was funded through the Lanham Act and Federal Works Agency.[5] The building today houses Jarman Middle School.[5]
Oscar Rose was an early superintendent of the school district and the namesake for Midwest City's community college, Rose State.[6]
