About Us:

Our school has approximately 150 students in grades kindergarten through twelve.

According to the October 3, 1996, edition of the Cherokee, Oklahoma, Messenger and Republican Newspaper, "The first consolidates school in Alfalfa County was organized in Burlington in April 1908. By 1913, it had 150 students and four teachers for an eight-month school. Cost per child was about 18 cents a day."

In 1909 the first school building was built and in 1923 a two story brick building was erected. In 1948 a bond was voted on for a new gymnasium and it was built that year. In 1963 a new modern school was built. In 1968 a new agriculture building was built on the south side of the school property. In 1970 the new kindergarten building was built.
