Class of 2027 Explores College Opportunities!
Members of the Stilwell High School Class of 2027 attended the Northeastern State University- Tahlequah Area Wide College Fair on August 27.
Students had the opportunity to explore their options after high school and visit with representatives from more than 60 colleges and universities. Along with NSU, colleges from across Oklahoma and neighboring states, including Kansas, Missouri, Texas, and Arkansas, were represented.
The college fair was a great opportunity for our seniors to ask questions, learn about different programs, and begin thinking about where their next chapter might take them.
Class of 2027 — your future is getting closer!
Rooted in the Future

Students and families may stop by on Tuesday, August 4, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. to ask questions about concurrent enrollment, available courses, college requirements, and student resources. Students who still need to enroll in concurrent classes may also receive assistance during this time.

📅 Monday, July 20, 2026
🕤 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 Stilwell High School Student Lobby
This is an important step in preparing for the upcoming school year. Students will have the opportunity to review their schedules, confirm enrollment, and ensure they are on track for graduation as we transition to a 7-period school day.
We look forward to welcoming the Class of 2027 back to campus! ❤️🖤

To ensure students are enrolled in the appropriate classes, Stilwell High School will host designated re-enrollment days beginning July 20. Families are encouraged to review the schedule and attend on their assigned day.
New students and returning students who are unable to attend their designated date may attend Open Enrollment on Tuesday, July 28.
We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we prepare for a successful school year. If you have questions regarding enrollment, please contact the Stilwell High School office.

As we prepare for the 2026–2027 school year, our district leadership team has been working to review district operations, schedules, and priorities for the year ahead.
As part of that process, revisions have been made to the 2026–2027 District Calendar that was previously shared with our community.
These revisions include changes to school operating hours, holidays, scheduled breaks, and other important dates.
We recognize that families and staff rely on the district calendar when planning work schedules, appointments, childcare, travel, and family activities. For that reason, we want to clearly communicate that the newly published calendar should replace all previous versions.
We encourage every family and staff member to review the revised calendar carefully.
During the coming weeks, Stilwell Public Schools will continue sharing important information to help students, families, and staff prepare for the beginning of school.
This year represents an opportunity for us to strengthen communication, build relationships, and work together toward a shared purpose: serving the students of Stilwell Public Schools.
Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and schools. I look forward to meeting more of our families and community members throughout the year ahead.
Sincerely,
Dr. Hicks
Superintendent
Stilwell Public Schools

Stilwell High School is proud to recognize 2026 graduate Wyatt Newsom on being selected as a recipient of The Gates Scholarship, one of the most prestigious and competitive scholarships in the United States.
Each year, only about 300 students nationwide are selected as Gates Scholars from tens of thousands of applicants, making it a scholarship with an acceptance rate of well under 1%. This honor places Wyatt among an elite group of student leaders across the country.
The Gates Scholarship is awarded to students who demonstrate:
✅ Exceptional academic achievement
✅ Outstanding leadership abilities
✅ Strong character and perseverance
✅ Meaningful involvement in their school and community
✅ A commitment to making a positive impact on the world around them
In addition to this incredible recognition, The Gates Scholarship helps cover the full cost of attendance not already covered by other financial aid, allowing recipients to pursue their college education with fewer financial barriers.
Wyatt's selection reflects years of hard work, dedication, leadership, and excellence both inside and outside the classroom. He has represented Stilwell Public Schools with distinction, and we could not be more proud of this extraordinary accomplishment.
Please join us in congratulating Wyatt Newsom on becoming a Gates Scholar!

Throughout the season, these students demonstrated consistent commitment, discipline, and teamwork. They practiced with purpose, communicated effectively under pressure, adapted in real time, and supported one another as competitors and teammates.

If you see these students, please join us in congratulating them on an outstanding accomplishment that represents Stilwell with pride.
