ARDMORE - Oklahoma School District

About School District: We are a diverse and dynamic learning community. As the largest school in Carter County, we offer a broad range of programs and learning opportunities that are enhanced by strong support from families and the community. Ardmore is nestled at the foot of the Arbuckle Mountains and is surrounded by seven lakes totaling 100,000 acres. Its strategic location on I-35, just 90 miles from either Dallas or Oklahoma City, gives Ardmore a unique market proximity. The advent of the Santa Fe Railroad in 1887 marked the beginning of Ardmore. It was named by Santa Fe Railroad agents after Ardmore, Pennsylvania, which had been named after Ardmore By-the-Sea, Ireland and means “high point” for its lighthouse. On March 11, 1899, Ardmore City Schools held their first Board of Education meeting. After 25 meetings over a period of seven months, Ardmore City Schools opened their doors to students for the first time. The date was September 20, 1899; the place was Indian Territory. Now, over 100 years later, Ardmore City Schools is still going strong. We are proud of our diverse student population of over 3,000 students, which reflects the faces of our great nation. Our mission is to educate all students through an unconditional commitment to quality and high standards.
