The Lawton Public School District strives to provide students with an athletic program that will promote the proper growth and development of young minds and bodies, generate a sense of pride in one’s self and create a sense of belonging to school and community. We believe that through participation in athletics, students develop important personal attributes such as initiative, responsibility and work ethic. We further believe that throughout life people is part of various teams, and that as a result of participation in team sports students learn cooperative skills and the importance of working together toward a common goal.

If you have any questions, feel free to call us at 580-357-6900 or e-mail us at info@.lawtonps.org.

HOW DOES MY STUDENT GET INVOLVED IN CHEER OR DANCE?

Cheer and dance squads are selected by try-outs in the early spring. Schools make announcements and posters are placed in every secondary school with the date, time and place of the try-outs. The sponsors in each school are the best sources for details. Contact the principals' offices of the secondary schools for email addresses of the sponsors.
