Lone Grove High School is a high school located in Lone Grove, Oklahoma, a small town outside Ardmore, Oklahoma. The Longhorn is their official mascot and their colors are black and white.
The first public school in Lone Grove opened in 1887 and had two teachers.[2] In 1910, a lawsuit to prevent the school district from constructing a new school was filed with the Oklahoma Supreme Court. The court upheld the results of a local election authorizing the construction of the school,[3] which was built later that year. The first high school building was completed in 1978,[2] which was replaced by a new facility in 2004. In 2008, as part of a 10 million dollar bond issue, the district began construction of a 1500-seat gymnasium at the high school, replacing a much smaller facility that lacked air conditioning.[4] The gym opened in 2011.[5]
Lone Grove High School is part of Lone Grove Public Schools. In total, the district operates 4 schools: Lone Grove Primary for students in grades PK-2, Lone Grove Intermediate for students in grades 3-5, Lone Grove Middle School for students in grades 6-8, and Lone Grove High School for students in grades 9-12.
