Did you know in 2022 Broken Arrow Public Schools surpassed the 20,000 student mark for the first time in history?!

Based on the projections in two separate demographic studies in 2016 and 2019, the district is growing at the highest predicted rate, gaining approximately 500 students per year.

We need classrooms, and the 2023 bond will help with that! Visit www.baschools.org/2023bond to learn more.

Participants meet with City Councilors and other City officials, tour public facilities, attend public meetings and demonstrate knowledge gained by preparing an agenda and minutes for presentation to City Council.

It takes a village to organize our New Teacher Orientation week. We are grateful for community partners, such as the new Waldo's Chicken in Tiger Hill Plaza (71st and Lynn Lane), for sponsoring lunch for over 200 teachers a couple of weeks ago. This is no small investment, and our staff genuinely appreciated it. We extend our heartfelt thanks to them for supporting education in our community and for nourishing the individuals who make a difference every day!

Happy first day to our youngest Pre-K Tigers! Don't worry, Pre-K families - your little ones are going to have the BEST day ever! Don't forget to use to document their first day pics!

Just in case you missed it - On Tuesday, Nov. 14, voters will have the opportunity to cast their vote in the 2023 bond election to invest $52 million in Broken Arrow Public Schools over the next five years.
