LPS Featured in Alliance for a Healthier Generation's Success Stories Newsletter

In order to implement an effective afterschool program throughout the district, staff at the Lawton Public School District knew they needed to find a program that would keep students, staff, and families engaged. They believe that they found that program in the CATCH kids club, a physical activity and nutrition education program designed for elementary aged children (grades K-5).

Lawton named best place in Oklahoma to raise kids

Lawton has been named by a major business magazine as the best place in Oklahoma to raise children, and the Lawton Public Schools is one of the reasons why. The Nov. 7 edition of BusinessWeek magazine named 50 U.S. cities -- one in each state -- where homes were affordable, incomes were good and the environment for raising children was positive.

To be eligible for selection, communities had to have at least 50,000 residents and the median family income had to be between $40,000-$100,000. Primary criteria also included the performance and number of local schools, low crime rate, air quality, job growth, diversity and access to such amenities as museums, parks and theaters. School performance was the most heavily weighted of these factors.

This was the second year that BusinessWeek has published such a list. Runners up in Oklahoma were Midwest City and Broken Arrow.
