Lawton High School

Lawton Public Schools’ (LPS) eSports programs are competing in the Oklahoma eSports League (OeSL) State tournament, with playoffs set to be held during the day on Dec. 11. Eisenhower High School (EHS) and Lawton High School (LHS) will both be competing at State. Currently, EHS and LHS are in first and second place, respectively, in their divisions for Rocket League. EHS is in second place in their division for Valorant. During the OeSL State tournament, EHS and LHS will be playing Rocket League – a team-based, large scale soccer game where players control vehicles rather than people to score goals. EHS will also be playing Valorant – a team-based tactical FPS. Additionally, Eisenhower High School (EHS) and MacArthur High School (MHS) will be competing in the first round of the PlayVS/OSSAA State tournament on Dec. 3. Eisenhower and MacArthur both made it into the state tournament bracket consisting of 42 total teams with Eisenhower being the No. 4 seed, and MacArthur being the No. 16 seed. MHS’ game will be at 4:00 p.m and EHS’ game will begin at 4:30 p.m. Those interested in viewing the competition should tune in to https://www.twitch.tv/IKE_esports17 or https://www.twitch.tv/lawtonmhs to keep up with EHS or MHS’ performance.

In this issue of the Lawton Public Schools (LPS) ReView, we highlight our very own LPS Police Department and their efforts to promote consistently drug-free environments for our students, celebrate Hispanic Heritage, and congratulate student successes. Additionally, we wanted to put a spotlight on our teachers’ ongoing professional development, our TAP students, and our hardworking virtual staff. There is so much to unpack in this issue, and we hope you will take the time to really dive in to our latest publication of the ReView!

Students have an opportunity to learn more about the University of Oklahoma and its American Indian community at American Indian Visitation Day on Friday, September 10, 2021. This on-campus experience is designed for American Indian high school seniors. The day will include sessions focused on equipping American Indian students for success in both academic and student life. Parents, family members, and supporters may attend with their student and will have the chance to hear from staff and alumni on how to provide support for their student’s academic career. This event is a great opportunity for students to personally meet folks from OU’s American Indian community and feel the support before they arrive on campus as a student!
