Yukon Public Schools
Description
Yukon Public Schools is a 6A School District educating approximately 8400 students. We have seven elementary schools (PK-3), two 4th-5th grade centers, one middle school, one high school, and one alternative school. We enjoy tremendous partnerships with local universities and Canadian Valley Technology Center. We are a Top 70 workplace in Oklahoma for 2016. We proudly claim to be a large school district that still maintains a "small town feel." Our community is supportive, our population is growing but at a very manageable rate, and we are conveniently located near the Thunder, the Sooners, the Cowboys, and downtown OKC. We are also experiencing a true growth in businesses that provide numerous eating and shopping opportunities for all ages.
