💚Our Very Own Little Cherokee Ambassador!💚
🎉 Cherokee Heritage Day at Gore Lower Elementary!
On Tuesday, our students had an amazing time celebrating Cherokee Heritage Day! A big thank you to Marsha Cordray and the Cherokee Nation for teaching our students traditional Cherokee games like stickball, ring toss, blow darts, and the game of graces.
Students learned that blow darts are made from Scottish thistle, the game of graces was adopted from France and played by ladies at the seminary for exercise, and ring toss became popular during the Great Depression when families had very little money for games.
After a fun morning of learning and playing, students enjoyed delicious grape dumplings — a traditional Cherokee dish often served at family gatherings. Thank you to Ms. Nancy, Ms. Ashley, and Ms. Kayla for preparing this special treat!
It was a wonderful day of culture, history, and hands-on learning. Wado to everyone who helped make this day so special! 💛
Huge congrats to Jaydan Gates, the 2026 Oklahoma JH All State runner up at 160lbs! He battled some of the best 8th and 9th graders from all classes across the state, picking up big wins over Tuttle, Jenks, El Reno, Weatherford, and Piedmont.
Last night we recognized our senior wrestlers before their duel against Heavener. Shout out to these guys! We also want to take a moment to recognize the rowdy crowd who came out in full force to support them. (So awesome!) If you have not seen the work these boys put into their season, you're missing out. Our wrestling program is going places!

🏀🏴☠️Congrats to Kennedy Williams for 500 career rebounds!🏴☠️🏀
This season, you joined one of the most exclusive clubs in high school basketball, the 500 Career Rebounds Club! Reaching 500 career rebounds is no small feat. It's a testament to relentless effort, toughness in the paint, and doing the little things that win games. Every rebound tells a story of hustle, positioning, and heart---and 500 of them speaks volumes. Congrats, Kennedy, on an incredible achievement and setting the tone every time the ball goes up. Here's to many more boards to come!
Gore High School 2026 Basketball Homecoming.
👑🏀Crowned as the 2026 Basketball Homecoming Queen was Kennedy Williams, alongside Homecoming King Cain Cooper. They were proudly accompanied by flower girl Molly Smith and crown bearer Dawson York, adding an extra touch of sweetness to the special moment.
The court was made up of a beautiful group of young ladies representing each class. Pictured in their stunning gowns were Sophomore candidate Hallie Brewer, Senior candidates Gracie Bruce, Rayleigh Moore, Kennedy Williams, and Emily Daily, Junior candidate Sophie O’Connor, and Freshman candidate Alevia Reasnor. Each candidate represented Gore High School with grace, confidence, and Pirate pride.
It was a memorable evening celebrating our students, their accomplishments, and the traditions that make Gore such a special place. Congratulations to our queen, king, and all of the candidates on a wonderful 2026 Basketball Homecoming! 🏀👑
