Tahlequah Public Schools has been named the 2026 Oklahoma Public School Resource Center (OPSRC) Breakthrough School Award winner in the Sustainability category.
OPSRC announced the inaugural Breakthrough School Awards during the Oklahoma School Innovation Summit on June 4 at Embassy Suites in Norman. The awards recognize Oklahoma public schools and districts demonstrating measurable academic growth, strong instructional leadership and meaningful student progress.
“The Breakthrough School Awards are about recognizing Oklahoma schools that are making a profound impact on students and learning from their success,” said OPSRC Executive Director Dr. April Grace. “We hope these awards shine a light on the practices that are creating meaningful results for students across our state.”
OPSRC used its statewide data matrix dashboard to analyze multiple indicators of student success and identify schools and districts excelling in areas like academic growth, consistency over time, graduation outcomes and student progress.
A total of 24 Oklahoma public schools and districts were recognized across three grade categories — elementary, K–8 and K–12 districts — with honors in four award categories: Overcomer, Sustainability, Platinum 70 and Platinum 70 Plus.
The inaugural Breakthrough School Awards are sponsored by American Fidelity and GES, LLC.
