Yukon Public Schools

Yukon Public Schools (YPS) opened its doors in 1891 in a small, one-room frame building. Since then, the school system has grown to a population of over 8,400+ students. YPS is fully accredited by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. In addition, Yukon High School is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Yukon Public Schools has a strong reputation and proven track-record of working hand-in-hand with our community, students, and employees. This synergy is what makes YPS successful and has allowed us to receive a Five Star ranking, from the North Central Association in each of its five categories; staff, community, students, curriculum, and facilities. Description The district is now organized on four levels; seven pre-kindergarten through third grade elementary schools, two upper-elementary schools housing fourth and fifth grades, one middle school campus housing the sixth grade academy and seventh and eighth grades in two separate buildings and a new high school that opened in 2011.
