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.

 

Swinging Into Spring Sports

Spring sports are in full swing in Oklahoma City Public Schools, and it's the busiest sports season of the year. 4,176 OKCPS students played sports last spring, and that number is certain to be even higher this year. This spring, Fields & Futures programs will support coaches and athletes participating in track & field, golf, soccer, and cheer through OKCPS, the YMCA, and OKC PAL.
