About Us
Welcome to McKinley!
McKinley is more than a school; we are a community of caring professionals who are dedicated to supporting the whole child. We have a rich language program, extracurricular activities, additional after-school tutoring support, and a full supper after school as a part of the Tulsa Public Schools child nutrition program. We ensure that students are refueled after a rigorous day of learning. We also offer a variety of after-school clubs.
A dedicated staff
Our teachers and leaders care deeply about our students. We understand that language and content learning happen simultaneously, and all students, regardless of their background, need opportunities to engage in meaningful, rigorous, grade-level content. We are dedicated to serving the whole child’s needs, whether we're cheering for them at a game, rewarding good behavior, or providing social/emotional learning (SEL) support, we want our students to know they are in a safe and caring environment. With strong social and emotional skills, our students will be able to set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions in their lives.
Culturally Competent Learning Programs
We are dedicated to meeting the needs of all students regardless of their cultural or linguistic background. We provide a safe, linguistically rich educational program that draws on the energy and curiosity of all learners, including multi-lingual learners, to bring with them their diverse experiences and backgrounds and their creativity as scholars. All students are able to engage in a meaningful way with rigorous, academic content through effective language interactions that draw on the unique needs of every student.
Mission
We inspire, equip, and support every student to learn and thrive through love, high expectations, and a safe, respectful community.
Vision
Every student leaves our school confident, capable, and equipped to lead and make positive contributions to our world.
