We Help OKCPS Student Athletes Realize their Potential
The purpose of OKCPS Athletics is to ignite passion and instill pride throughout Oklahoma City Public Schools by showing kids they are capable of rising above their circumstances. We believe that when students find a team, they find the classroom. And when they commit to the classroom, they put themselves on a better path to graduation and life beyond high school.
