Thanksgiving Break begins this Friday

A well-deserved congratulations goes out to the Barnsdall High School Cheerleaders for winning the OSSAA Academic Achievement Award at their Game Day competition. The cheerleaders competed in the Game Day event in Oklahoma City and came away with one of the highest honors. We are proud of all of the work they put into their academics to achieve this honor. Congratulations, girls!

The Barnsdall High School football team won its first playoff game on Friday against the Commerce Tigers with an outstanding score of 33-7.

Come out and support the team as they try to claim another victory and edge closer to the state title. Go, Panthers!
