El Reno Learning Center a path to success for all students

Body

Hello, El Reno

I am excited and honored to start my second year being the principal of the El Reno Learning Center.

My staff and I will continue to provide the academic standards of education that has made El Reno Learning Center the successful campus that it has been.

I grew up not too far from here in Purcell, where I was the youngest of five siblings, and we all graduated from Purcell High School.

Long before State School Superintendent Ryan Walters demanded Oklahoma public schools feed students for free, El Reno Public Schools was working to do exactly that. 

In April, El Reno was notified it had qualified for a program administered by the USDA that would provide every student in the district with free breakfast and lunch during the school year. 

Known as the Community Eligibility Provision, the El Reno district was then notified last week that it had been accepted into the five-year program, said Superintendent Matt Goucher.
