New Student Enrollment Opens June 1st!

Have you ever wanted to join the Home of Champions? Whether it’s in the classroom, on the field, or on the stage, Adair Public Schools is where excellence is built. We are thrilled to announce that new student enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year officially opens on June 1st.


Why Choose Adair?

At Adair, we believe that "Champion" isn't just a title, it’s a mindset. Our district is defined by a unique blend of high expectations and unwavering support. When you join the Warrior family, you’re joining a tradition of success that spans generations.

  • Championship Success: Our trophy cases tell a story of dedication across every discipline. From the gridiron and the court to the diamond, our athletic programs are built on a legacy of winning. That same competitive spirit thrives in our nationally recognized FFA, award-winning Band, Robotics, and FCCLA programs. At Adair, we provide the platform for students to compete and win at the highest levels.

  • Academic Excellence: We believe that true champions are built in the classroom first. Our Elementary offers high rigor and a strong foundation for future success, preparing our youngest learners for the road ahead. This commitment to excellence continues at the middle school through graduation; our High School is proud to be recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School, a testament to our high academic standards and student achievement.

  • Unmatched Community Support: Adair is more than just a school district; it is the heart of the community. Our students benefit from an incredible network of local support that invests in their future. Whether it’s through local scholarships, facility improvements, or packed stands on Friday nights, our community ensures that our students have the resources they need to thrive.


The Road Starts June 1st

The journey toward a bright future begins with a single step. Starting June 1st, families can begin the enrollment process to secure their spot for the upcoming school year. We invite you to experience the pride, the people, and the programs that make Adair the premier choice for education in Northeast Oklahoma.

  • Date: Opens June 1, 2026

  • Who: All new students for the 2026-2027 school year
