Last week we featured Outstanding Alumni Donald Dumler (1938-2016) for our "Legacy Lives Here" theme. He was a 1957 Okeene graduate, an OU Graduate and a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music. He was widely known as an outstanding organist and musician. You have to start somewhere and this occasion was in Okeene, Oklahoma, at the age of twelve when he performed for the closing banquet of the annual rattlesnake hunt. Since that time, the venues changed. Mr. Dumler has played his share of Masses for celebrities, including the funerals of Ed Sullivan and Bing Crosby. He also played many of the 9-11 funeral masses. Beyond the 9/11 masses, Dumler famously played for the papal visits of Pope John Paul II in 1979 and 1995, performed in front of multiple U.S. Presidents, and broadcasted 43 televised Christmas Midnight Masses to millions of viewers worldwide #legacyliveshere

Students toured the Instructional Technology program, which emphasizes applied engineering and manufacturing, as well as SWOSU’s nursing program. These experiences gave our students a closer look at possible career paths and the many opportunities waiting for them after high school. Thank you, SWOSU, for welcoming our students and helping them begin thinking about their futures!

Okeene Public Schools is incredibly proud to announce that Bridger Hursh has been named a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist, which is one of the most prestigious academic honors a high school student can earn! Each year, more than one million students across the country enter the National Merit Scholarship Program. Only about 1% of high school seniors nationwide advance to the semifinalist level. Bridger’s exceptional PSAT/NMSQT performance placed him among Oklahoma’s highest scoring students and the nation’s most academically accomplished seniors. This recognition is an extraordinary achievement for Bridger and a tremendous honor for Okeene Public Schools. It reflects years of hard work, dedication, academic excellence, and the support of the teachers and family members who have encouraged him throughout his education. Bridger, you have represented our school and community at the highest level, and your entire Whippet family could not be more proud. Congratulations on this well deserved accomplishment!
