History

The first public school in Lone Grove opened in 1887 and had two teachers.[2] In 1910, a lawsuit to prevent the school district from constructing a new school was filed with the Oklahoma Supreme Court. The court upheld the results of a local election authorizing the construction of the school,[3] which was built later that year. The first high school building was completed in 1978,[2] which was replaced by a new facility in 2004. In 2008, as part of a 10 million dollar bond issue, the district began construction of a 1500-seat gymnasium at the high school, replacing a much smaller facility that lacked air conditioning.[4] The gym opened in 2011.[5]
