Bixby OK Schools & Community

Bixby OK is a community that believes education is one of the most valuable tools available. They have been supporting the schools in Bixby for years and understand that expansion and investment are necessary for the continuation of excellent education.

As proponents of the benefits education can provide, they are living proof. 76% of all Bixby residents are homeowners. This shows the ability to generate an income that can support the purchase and continuing ownership of homes that are in affluent neighborhoods.

Community should be involved in the schools and is encouraged. The continued belief that parents should be involved in and support the schools is what makes this Bixby OK school system function as well as it has and continues to do.

This is another reason the Board of Education believes the retention of well qualified staff members is essential to providing educational excellence. Not only do the teachers have to be highly competent, but they must be caring as well.

Another essential element of the Bixby schools is the Bixby Education Endowment Foundation. They are the backbone behind the community, the teachers and the students. With grants made possible through donations, teachers can further their education. In addition providing funding for music, art, math, science and reading, the funds have supplied sports equipment, microscopes, portable computer labs and much more for the students.

This is just another example of the way this community stands behind the opportunities that are available to provide an investment in the future of the children. By involving area businesses in this effort, the opportunity for matching funds for every dollar that is donated helps to provide the support that is helping the Bixby schools to excel.
