Groundbreaking took place on Tuesday for the high school's addition and renovation project - the crown jewel of the bond issue passed by our community.
Students, parents, board members, staff, city officials, and representatives from Ethos Architecture and Miller Tippens all took a special part in starting this amazing project.
Thank you, voters; thank you, Glenpool!
It is with great honor that we recognize Amber Bain as the Glenpool Public Schools' Friend of Education for November 2025. She is a champion of public education, representing our community at the Oklahoma Department of Education in Oklahoma City on multiple occasions. Amber is a valuable asset to our schools, city, and state.
Thank you, Amber. We sincerely appreciate it.
Thank you, Amber. We sincerely appreciate it.
Congratulations to our Secondary Certified Teacher of the Month for November, Danny Webb. Mr. Webb teaches 5th-grade science and social studies. A fellow teacher says, "As a new employee to GPS, Mr. Webb has been a great mentor and helper to me. Whenever I have questions about teaching, Mr. Webb is always there to help me understand. He's always sharing resources to help me understand our grade's power standards and CFA. I truly appreciate him as a colleague."
It's no trick, help us celebrate our Support Employee of the Month for November - Justin Smith. Mr. Smith works in the district's IT department. One colleague says this, "Justin is always so friendly and helpful when technical issues arise at any site. His workload had to be overwhelming this summer and into the beginning of the school year with so many technological upgrades at different sites; however, he remained calm, consistent, friendly, and reliable. We are so thankful for his hard work and years of dedicated service to our entire district."
Huge treats for our November Elementary Teacher of the Month, Tracy McGowen. Mrs. McGowen works in our Team Room. One of her colleagues writes, " Tracy goes above and beyond to help all of her colleagues. She always has a positive attitude and is ready to de-escalate any situation with laughter. She loves all of our students but has a special heart for our students who struggle with trauma and special needs. We could not survive without her, and she plays an integral role in ensuring that all of our students are successful, no matter what challenges they face. We are so thankful for her!"
We are so thrilled to celebrate this special week with our students, staff, and community!
Unfortunately, with the persistent rain forecasted for Friday in the Oklahoma weather, and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of all our participants, we've made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the traditional Homecoming Parade. While we're sad to miss the parade, the safety of our students and community members is our top priority.
But don't worry—the celebration is still ON!
We are excited to announce that the Homecoming Ceremony will be moving indoors to the Sports Arena. We invite everyone to join us at 5:00 PM to see all the members of our fantastic Homecoming Court recognized and cheer as we crown this year's Homecoming King and Queen!
We look forward to an evening filled with school spirit, community pride, and a great ballgame afterward. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our school and students!
Go Warriors!
