Star Spencer High School – Let the Field Work Begin!

Feb 25, 2016

The community of Spencer, OK turned out Thursday night, Feb. 25, to support the Foundation for OKCPS Partners in Action event, and to hear Fields & Futures share plans for the new athletic fields now under construction. Thanks to all who attended!

Follow our progress on Facebook and Twitter (@FieldsFutures) and be sure to let us know if you would like to be involved in this exciting transformation of the Star Spencer athletic complex. We are still raising funds to support the overall project, including long term field maintenance. Any funding referrals are greatly appreciated.

Special thanks to Cimarron Construction, MA+ Architects, Olsson Associates, Oklahoma City Public Schools and Wes Welker Foundation for their support.

What Drives Capitol Hill and U.S. Grant Football?

U.S. Grant and Capitol Hill may be rivals, but their football programs have more in common than their annual "Southside Bedlam" rivalry game. From 2014-2020, the OSSAA allowed both programs to play as independents so they could create their own schedules and rebuild their programs. Now playing in Class 6A, neither team has found success in district play, but they also know the scoreboard isn't the only standard of success.
