MacArthur Junior High School has stood as a symbol of pride in east Lawton, supporting the community. In 2003, MacArthur Junior High was selected to make the first transition to middle school in the district. This process began in the 2004-2005 school year with the school housing 7th and 8th grades only, and the 9th grade students moving to MacArthur High School. During this year, the staff and faculty went through intense training to become effective teachers in a middle school forum.
School doors re-opened August 19, 2005, as the new and improved MacArthur Middle School, the first in Lawton. Mac Middle now houses grades 6-8, with a dedicated teaching staff working in partnership with parents and others to provide the finest middle level education possible.
MacArthur Middle School continues to reach new heights of student achievement and accomplishment. Today, the leadership of the district and the school, working with parents and other community members, stands united to prepare our students to live successful lives in the 21st century. |
