In 1910, Duke School was housed in a three-room frame building which was in very poor condition. With the advent of the railroad Duke began to grow, and the need for a bigger school became apparent. The Duke School was rebuilt in 1921 only to be destroyed by fire in 1964. Duke was the first community in Oklahoma to have a completely underground school. The new school became necessary after fire destroyed the older structure in 1964. Some of the reasons for a subterranean school are that it will serve as a Civil Defense fallout shelter and will provide protection for the children and the community in case of tornado. Other underground schools in the United States have proved that construction costs and maintenance costs are less; there are no dust or allergy problems; students are more attentive because there are no outside noises, and the acoustics are perfect. The Duke School has received nationwide publicity from the Oklahoma Civil Defense Agency in State and Federal publications. This original structure and equipment cost over $400,000. The school added a gymnasium and office above-ground at a later date. Another addition – including a science lab, computer lab, library, counselor’s office, superintendent’s office, and restrooms – was erected above-ground in 1997

Olustee Public School is a small district in Jackson County with the goal of preparing students to contribute, compete, and thrive in a world that is increasingly impacted by technological innovations. The school district recognizes that technology changes at a rapid pace and evaluations must be made frequently in the areas of hardware, software, pedagogical methodology, and goal achievements. One of the advantages of a small district is that feedback may be available quickly and adjustments made accordingly. Olustee School is committed to providing equal access for all students, teachers and administrators to technology. Technology will be used to support all levels of the instructional program, which will provide motivation for learning and will increase the flexibility in classroom instruction. Adequate access to technology will facilitate administrative tasks, increase productivity, and manage student data. The Mission of Olustee School is to effectively infuse technology into education to produce graduates who use technology as a tool to accomplish meaningful work. In a effort to coordinate all technology funds, all available technology resources including state and federal categorical funds will be used to purchase equipment, which addresses the needs in this technology plan.
