Who are we?

Whitebead is located two miles east of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, serving our rural community of 1500 people. Established in 1917, we are known in Oklahoma as a Dependent School District because we are a single site Pre-K through 8th grade school and are dependent on other school districts to complete our students' high school education (grades 9-12).

A unique characteristic of our district is that approximately forty-three percent (43%) of our students transfer to Whitebead from other schools. We offer a comprehensive curriculum and meet the diverse needs of our students through a comprehensive system of needs analysis that involves parents, students, and staff. 

We use a blended services model, which promotes classroom community to ensure the needs of our diverse students, parents, and staff. Offerings include small classes, award winning visual and performing arts programs (68% participation in fifth through eighth grade), athletic and academic booster clubs, student government, school service organizations, four academic teams for grades fifth through eighth, and service learning projects, all of which are important aspects of life at Whitebead Public School.

We know our parents play an important role in the success of our school. We value and encourage parental input and support a partnership among staff, parents, and the community to improve student academic achievement.
