Grove Public School Community,

I would like to take this opportunity as Grove Superintendent to welcome you to the Ridgerunner web-site!  I am very pleased that you are taking your time to browse our school site.  I hope that you find it very informative as well as easy to navigate.  This site is new to our district and a great deal of energy and thought has been involved in its development.  Please keep in mind that this site is a “work in progress” and we will continue to add valuable information as the year progresses.

Grove Public Schools has numerous programs, from academics to athletics, to offer our students and community.  Our school system has a very dedicated staff and school board.  With that in place, it helps us to educate approximately 2500 students PreK-12 on a daily basis to prepare them for tomorrow’s future.

I whole-heartedly appreciate the great support that the school system receives from the Grove community and parents.  It truly does take the entire village to educate today’s youth!

I have listed below four goals that are very important for our school system.  As your leader, I hope to achieve each one of these! However, it will take the entire TEAM to achieve these goals. Remember that you are as a community member, an important part of our TEAM!

           1. We must have excellence in teaching to have maximum learning.  
           2. We must meet all of NCLB requirements and improve test scores.
           3. We must continue to upgrade buildings and facilities.
           4. We must build new facilities.

The results will be …Best school in Oklahoma! “Home of the Grove Ridgerunners”

Respectfully,

Sandy Harper
Superintendent
