The power is on and so is Parent/Teacher conferences!! We are here from 3 pm - 7 pm, unless the electricity says otherwise. 😉 See you tonight!

Due to the loss of electricity, high school drivers will be released at 1:35 pm. Parents are welcome to pick up their students now. Buses will run between 2pm and 2:15pm.

YPS is aware of a fire north of the Elementary. Emergency crews have been dispatched and are responding at this time. Please stay clear of the area and follow any instructions from emergency personnel.

We will share more information as it becomes available.

Congratulations to the Yale High School boy’s basketball team for winning the District Championship on Saturday evening. They will play in Regionals on Tuesday night at 7:30 in Homer Ray Gymnasium. The girls will play Thursday at 6:00 at Homer Ray.

We were thrilled to welcome Miss Oklahoma 2025, Tessa Dorrell, to our school last week! Tessa, a graduate of Oklahoma State University with a degree in Sports Media, was crowned the 91st Miss Oklahoma after competing against 39 other talented young women this past June. She shared her passion for community service and her initiative, Partners Club: Empowering Special Education in Oklahoma, which connects students with and without special needs to build empathy, understanding, and inclusive friendships. Thank you, Tessa, for encouraging our students to lead with heart, embrace their unique talents, and make a difference in their communities! 💛✨
