Today, the students that attended the Youth Leadership Forum in Tulsa had the opportunity to speak on the radio about their experience! This forum is sponsored by the Oklahoma Center for Community and Justice. Mr. Phil Armstrong was able to chime in via phone and provide additional insights. The group had a wonderful experience and learned valuable lessons about leadership and the history of the Tulsa Massacre.
We are proud of these students for representing Idabel High School and taking part in this experience.

On October 5, our Idabel High School students took the PSAT, and we are proud to recognize our top scorers! Pictured left to right are Kylie Butler, Jemma Pratt, Arianna Clark, and Eduardo Tirado.
The PSAT is a nationally recognized assessment that helps students prepare for the SAT and college readiness. It measures skills in reading, writing and math while helping students identify areas of strength and opportunities for growth. For eligible students, strong PSAT scores can also open the door to National Merit Scholarship opportunities.
To our top scorers, thank you for putting your best foot forward and making academics a priority. This is something to be proud of!
Keep striving for excellence and raising the standards for Warrior Nation!

Idabel alum Dennis Parker changes the football world wherever he goes. He changes the dynamics, the attitude, the structure, and ultimately the entire athletic department and student body of the school. Dennis spent a lifetime coaching and changing lives.
Friday night the Marshall Mavericks changed the name of their football field to "Dennis Parker Field" in his honor. Dennis credits his Idabel roots for the toughness and character he instills in his players, and always reminds people where he came from.
Congratulations Coach Parker. Once a Warrior, always a Warrior. You make Idabel proud.
Come watch the Idabel Warriors in their home opener vs. the Valliant Bulldogs at Warrior Nation Stadium this Friday, 9-4-26. Come support the football players, the band, the cheerleaders, the dance, team, and the colorguard. We will see you THERE!

We are proud to announce that Athena Ogden has been selected as Idabel High School’s Life Changer of the Year nominee!
The Life Changer of the Year program, presented by National Life Group, recognizes educators who go above and beyond to make a lasting difference in the lives of their students, schools, and communities.
Mrs. Ogden returned to Idabel Public Schools as our high school junior and senior English teacher, and she has quickly made an impact. She creates a positive classroom environment where every student feels valued.
"Whether she sees a student at school, at an extracurricular activity, or even at the store, Mrs. Ogden takes the time to check on them. She cares about more than grades—she cares about how our students are doing, what they are going through, and what life is handing them."
That is what makes a true Life Changer.
