Cherokee Art Contest!
Deadline November 12, 2025
Deadline November 12, 2025
Our Middle School students participated in the Cherokee Bowl on October 23rd in Tahlequah, OK. In preparation for this event, students researched and reviewed facts previously learned in their Cherokee Culture Class. Students also utilized their background knowledge of traditions and teachings from the Cherokee elders in their own homes. Topics included Cherokee history, traditional foods, traditional dress and even knowing facts about Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr., Deputy Principal Chief Bryan Warner and the Council Members of the Cherokee Nation. We appreciate First Baptist Church for housing this event and welcoming our future leaders to use their facility. Great job to everyone that participated!!!
We appreciate your concerns! An ambulance was at Briggs. The individual is stable and is on their way to the hospital. The ambulance was not here for any of the students. Thank you for caring about your community!

Briggs School is participating in the Hay Wrap Take Back Project this year. When not disposed of properly, hay wrap and twine become entangled in farming equipment, fencing and grassy areas.
We have a recycling bin for hay wrap and twine located north of the old gym, by the old softball field. We appreciate your help in participating in this project to keep pastures clean, protect wildlife and save on costly equipment repairs! We also have the opportunity of winning a cash prize for our school if we collect the largest weight amount!
