In early 2019, we accepted a game-changing opportunity from Oklahoma City Public Schools to play a crucial role in the district’s Pathway to Greatness plan. Under this bold measure, the district’s vision to convert seven elementary schools into new middle schools was set into motion.

Our mission was to build an infrastructure of fully-irrigated grass athletic fields at each new campus that would support school athletics, campus activities, and community play.

With excitement and determination, we rose up to meet the challenge head-on. Along the way, we were joined by fellow community leaders and organizations that found additional opportunities to strengthen the infrastructure with added amenities and facility upgrades.

Today, we are putting the finishing touches on the final Pathway to Greatness campus—Southeast Middle School.

As the momentum carries over to the improvement project at neighboring Southern Oaks Park, it’s impossible not to look back at Southeast Middle School’s transformation and imagine how many lives will be changed right here on these fields.

 

Pathway Partners Clear the Path & Pave the Way

At Fields & Futures, we believe youth sports have the power to change lives, transform communities, and light the way to a brighter future. Unfortunately, financial obstacles and resource limitations deter too many kids in Oklahoma City's urban core from ever stepping onto a field, court, or track. Pathway Partners are the indispensable forces that clear the path and pave the way to equal access and opportunity.
