Elk City Public Schools is committed to Always Growing and providing additional opportunities for our students.
For some time now, Elk City High School Students have been able to earn college credits through Southwestern Oklahoma State University, while completing their high school years. However, the SWOSU Courses were offered through online instructors. Students and parents felt as though they were missing out on the final years of high school. While the college credits earned were great for our students, too often, the online courses kept our students from participating in daily Elk City High School life. In order to integrate the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school, and still be an active participant at ECHS, Elk City Public Schools made a financial commitment to provide a college classroom for students on our campus. The opportunity to earn college credits taught in person by SWOSU Instructors, utilizing EC classrooms, has led to an increase in the number of students earning college credits. Elk City High School is second only to Yukon High School pertaining to the number of students enrolled in the SWOSU Concurrent Program.
ECHS, earning college credits, and living in the "Brown & White."
At Elk City Public Schools, Always Growing, Just Means More!
Respectfully,
Mike Sparks, Superintendent
