2024 MPS District Showcase Recap!
This year’s District Showcase was an amazing opportunity to explore our campuses and see firsthand the incredible programs and facilities that make Muskogee Public Schools special!
The day began at the Early Childhood Center at Grant Foreman, where attendees explored the light lab, art studio, playground, and 8-trike path. Next, we visited Muskogee High School’s welding program, featuring their new plasma table, followed by a stop at the FFA program. The tour continued at the Performing Arts Center with a performance by our talented drama team. After lunch, we capped off the day with the Rougher Regiment’s final performance of the year.
Thank you to everyone who joined us—we can’t wait to do it again next year!
