History

The school district originated as a set of schools based solely in Midwest City, which consisted of prefabricated hutments with five teachers and 125 students. It originally included four schools, two of which were precursors to Sooner Elementary School and Soldier Creek Elementary School. A total of 1,250 students were enrolled in the second year of the school system. The first permanent school building was dedicated in 1944, after two years of using temporary buildings. It cost $314,000 and was funded through the Lanham Act and Federal Works Agency. The building today houses Midwest City Middle School. Oscar Rose was an early superintendent of the school district and the namesake for Midwest City's community college, Rose State.{{cite encyclopedia , last=Hedglen , first=Thomas , title=Midwest City , encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture , publisher=
