"Last Saturday, September 28th, the Tribe of Catoosa High School marching band competed at the 17th annual Stallion Battalion Marching Contest. During our prelims performance we received 3rd place in our class and scored high enough to passed onto the final round. During our finals performance we placed 9th overall.
Thank you so much to the students and faculty that came out to support us.
TRIBE!"

Wells Middle School parents and families,
I would like to make you aware of a situation that occurred at Wells Middle School today. A bed bug was found in a computer bag in a student’s locker. Bed bugs like to "hitch-hike" on a student's clothing, shoes, books or backpack. While bed bugs are a nuisance, they are not known to spread disease. A bed bug bite is painless and may or may not become swollen and itch, much like a mosquito bite. It is advisable to watch for clusters of bites, usually in a line, on exposed areas of the body. If you have medical concerns for you or your child, please contact your family physician.I have contacted the Catoosa Public Schools Maintenance Department and we have been working urgently with them to ensure that we thoroughly assess the situation and take all appropriate follow-up actions.
Even though it is unlikely for bed bugs to infest a school, Catoosa Public Schools, in partnership with West Pest Control, conducted an inspection of the specimen and the area where the bed bug was found. Based on their findings, I want to assure you that there is no bed bug infestation at Wells Middle School. Out of an abundance of caution, our maintenance team and West exterminators are working together this evening to fully treat all potentially affected areas.
Please keep in mind that bed bugs are not a factor of the cleanliness of the environment, they affect everyone equally, and the source of the bed bugs often cannot be determined as they may be found in many places. As a precautionary measure, it’s always a good idea to have your student check him/herself and their bags(s) before they enter home after the school day has ended.
If you have any questions about how the school is handling this situation, please feel free to contact me at the number above and send me an email to rlangley@catoosa.k12.ok.us
Sincerely,
Rex Langley
Principal
Wells Middle School

Hello CPS families,
Catoosa Public Schools is considering launching an After School Extended Day Program for the 2024-2025 school year to address the need for quality after-school care. The program will provide students with a safe and nurturing environment, offering homework help, nutritious snacks, and physical activities. We will strive to support academic achievement, build self-esteem, and foster character development. The program will be held at Cherokee Elementary and cater to pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade students. We seek your input through a brief survey (one per child) to ensure its success.
