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.

The 35th Annual Oklahoma Indian Nation Pow-Wow was held at Concho over the weekend.
A parade celebrating the event rolled through downtown El Reno to help kick off the celebration.
When El Reno does well, the Cheyenne and Arapaho do well.
When the Cheyenne and Arapaho do well, the city of El Reno does well.
C&A Gov. Reggie Wassana and El Reno Vice Mayor David Black shared those sentiments during a reception last week to honor the C&A.
The occasion was the opening of the 35th Annual Oklahoma Indian Nation Pow-Wow.
The city of El Reno proclaimed August as Oklahoma Indian Nation Month.
Superintendent Matt Goucher said the upcoming bond issue in support of El Reno Public Schools will address “needs, not wants.”
Goucher made the comments while addressing the El Reno Now audience at last week’s gathering. The $69 million bond issue will be voted on Oct. 14.
The measure requires 60 percent voter approval for passage.
Goucher said the people of El Reno want what’s best for the children in the community. He said the bond issue would not raise taxes if approved.
