Heavener Public Schools

In addition, one of our three campuses still has hazardous areas that have not yet been fully cleared. For these reasons, Heavener Public Schools will continue virtual learning on Friday, January 30, to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Students should log in through Clever to access assignments and instructions from their teachers. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Mrs. Luman's 8th grade Language Arts students wrapped up The Outsiders with a creative one-pager project! Each student captured key themes, characters, and personal connections from the novel using words, images, and symbols—all on a single page. Their work shows thoughtful reading, creativity, and a deep understanding of the story. Pictured that are currently on display in the mid-level building.
