In response to this mission, the faculty and staff of the High School are committed to working collaboratively with parents, patrons, business, and community leaders to create a school climate of high expectations for academic achievement and citizenship. Our goal is to facilitate the realization of each student’s unique potential. We also strive to build a solid foundation upon which each graduate of Ardmore High School can launch a successful and productive future. Students are encouraged to take one or more Advanced Placement classes offered at the High School. High achieving students can stretch their abilities by taking courses that originate from the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics. The Ardmore Higher Education Center, located on an adjacent campus to Ardmore High School, provides students the opportunity to earn college credit by being concurrently enrolled. Students may also choose to explore the options available at the Southern Oklahoma Technology Center a few short miles from the High School campus.

Within a very small radius, students at Ardmore High School are offered a multitude of educational and career options. Students and teachers work together in a clean, modern facility with state-of-the-art technological and scientific equipment. Ardmore High School benefits from exceptional support from the citizens and businesses and from philanthropic foundations in the area.

Ardmore High School prides itself in effectively preparing its students for an ever-changing future with an unconditional commitment to quality and high standards…No excuses!
