The five members of the Kingfisher Board of Education serve
staggered five year terms. One member of the Board is elected each
year, usually in February. Each member must be a qualified elector
and must live within the Kingfisher School District and within the sub
-district he/she will represent.
Board members are volunteers and receive no compensation for
their service. They meet at least once each month and may meet more
often as needed. They are responsible for supervising the education
program of the Kingfisher School District. To do this, Board members hire a Superintendent of Schools who is responsible for the day
to day operation of the district.
The superintendent employs building principals and teachers with
the approval of the Board. The superintendent must be certified by
the State of Oklahoma and meet other requirements as established by
law or the State Board of Education.
Board members are unique in government in that their authority
exists only while serving during an official meeting. As individuals,
Board members have no power or authority, however, they are open
to hearing from patrons at any time and will bring concerns to official
meetings.
The Board usually meets the first Monday of each month at 7:00
p.m. at the Board of Education Building located at 602 Chisholm
Drive, Kingfisher, Oklahoma 73750.
The Open Meeting Law of Oklahoma requires that all public bodies conduct their meetings in public and patrons of the district are
welcome and encouraged to attend Board meetings. Provisions are
made at the beginning of each meeting to hear patron comments. Further compliance with the Open Meeting Law provides for the posting
of the Board‟s agenda at the Board of Education Building at least two
business days prior to a meeting (usually on the Thursday prior to a
meeting).
During an official meeting, only those items listed upon the posted
agenda may be voted and acted upon except in cases of emergency.
Special meetings may be called to act upon items discussed but not
voted upon.
The members of the Kingfisher Board of Education for the 20102011 school year are: Mr. Scott Ulsaker, Mr. Mike Copeland, Mr.
Randy Farrar, Mr. Roland Mulherin and Mr. Brad Shepherd.

It is with much pleasure that I write this message to you today. The school board of the Kingfisher Public School District has
given me a wonderful opportunity to serve in the very best community and school in the state. I must applaud our outstanding
and accomplished teachers and support staff for their awesome dedication to their students and this school district and to the
community. There is a very high level of “Teacher Expectation” from their students throughout the entire system and its shows
through our student‟s performance. There is genuine caring and concern for the student‟s successes shown by all of our administrators, faculty and staff. Also, we thank the community for its overwhelming support of our district this past year. Kingfisher
is not your ordinary community or school district. It is way above and very close to the top. There has been so much appreciation shown to this school, its students, faculty and administration by the patrons of this community. It is that standard of excellence, appreciation and expectation that will continue to make this one of the truly great school districts of Oklahoma.
Look for a reason to make contact with each school board member, buy them a cup of coffee, and ask what you can do to help.
I really enjoyed being here and being involved in all the educational offerings of our school district. This is a great community
and school district and a wonderful place to work. It was that way when I came. It has been nurtured by caring professionals
before me. Please come visit our schools and get acquainted with all of us. Thank you.

Welcome Jason Sternberger
Superintendent Kingfisher Schools 2011-2012
I would like to express my gratitude to the Kingfisher Board of Education and the community of
Kingfisher for giving me the opportunity to serve as Superintendent of schools. In front of the
high school are the words “making a difference.” It is a very deserving phrase for such a wonderful school system who does make a positive difference in the lives of the children who attend.
Kingfisher is known as one the best schools throughout the state for its excellence both in academics and extra-curricular activities. The goals and expectations are set very high for our students. We must continue to work together as a school and community, not only to achieve state
awards, but national accomplishments as well.
In the short amount of time I have been involved with Kingfisher Public school, I have admired
the amount of support that is given to our students to help ensure their educational success. The
Board of Education is committed to give the resources that are necessary to ensure success and
also to help implement new programs by the administrators and teachers. As evident with our
yearly test scores, our teaching staff is second to none to make sure that they are preparing all of
the students for college and other career opportunities when they graduate. I am very dedicated to
the task on hand to not only maintain, but to elevate the pride and excellence for Kingfisher Public Schools.
One of the greatest factors that contribute to a school‟s success rate is the amount of parental involvement with their children. Whether it is supporting them at home with educational activities
or giving feedback to school personnel, we welcome each and everyone‟s input as to what ideas
you may have to make Kingfisher Public Schools a better place for all of the children in the district. I invite you to share your thoughts with me at any time. Once again, I thank you for this opportunity and look forward to meeting you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Jason Sternberger

The Kingfisher Public Schools were established in 1891 and
graduated their first senior class in 1894. Since that time, this
school district has developed and maintained a reputation for
excellence in academics and co-curricular activities second to
none. In addition, this district‟s high school has been a member
of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools for more
than eighty years. Membership in this voluntary accreditation
organization guarantees high standards and acceptance by other
North Central schools of credits awarded by the Kingfisher district.
This school district continues to improve the opportunities it
offers to the children of the Kingfisher community and strives to
remain on the cutting edge of new developments in technology
and teaching methods. All classrooms are wired for the Internet
and teachers and students are conversant with the latest online
research techniques.
The success of the Kingfisher Schools has been made possible,
largely through the cooperation and support of the families of the
children enrolled and of the community in general. The Kingfisher Schools strive to be open and friendly and visitors are always welcome. Please feel free to visit with the building principal and he will be delighted to show you the building and give
you the opportunity to see young people learning and to observe
a superb teaching staff.
Attendance
Oklahoma law requires school attendance of all children between the ages of five and eighteen years of age. The Kingfisher
Board of Education policy further requires that students attend
classes at least 90% of the time to receive credit.
450 students per day. Special services are also provided for
handicapped or disabled students.
Special Education
The Kingfisher School District provides complete services to
those students who require special attention. The district has
special education classes at each school site with specially certified instructors who are trained to deal with the special needs of
students whether their needs involve mental, behavioral, or learning disabilities.
For more information about these special programs, contact
your child‟s building principal.
Title I
The Title I program serves students in reading and math skills.
Students who experience difficulty in these areas are referred
to Title I instructors to determine eligibility for assistance. These
instructors conduct an individual evaluation of the referred students and design techniques for helping them. These programs
are designed primarily to meet the needs of younger students
with the belief that the sooner the students receive extra help, the
easier it will be for them to progress through school.
School Closings
Listen to Oklahoma City television stations for information
regarding school closings. You may also call the Superintendent's office at 375-4194 for information.
Enrollment
Students enroll in the Kingfisher Schools at the building site
for their grade level. Elementary students (grades Pre/K–4) enroll
at the Geen Gilmour Elementary School located at 1400 South
Oak Street, Grades 5-8 enroll at Kingfisher Middle School located at 601 South 13th Street, and High School students enroll

From the
Assistant Superintendent
Fancy sayings or philosophical musings in a school’s mission statement are merely words unless
they’re implemented with love, care, and purpose. At Kingfisher Schools we make it our mission to be
fully engaged and synergistically focused so our kids can experience, grow, and develop in a strong
and vibrant school district. One of my responsibilities as Assistant Superintendent is to encourage the
professional growth of our faculty, enabling us to accomplish the ordinary in extraordinary fashion.
Currently our district is at the very top in every educational category. Attaining and maintaining this
status is just a means to an end; the concluding results being the proliferation of the next generation of
leaders that will continue our school’s heritage of graduating pillars of success and strength. In order
for our students to thrive without distraction, we emphasize effective and open communication
channels between teachers, parents and caregivers.
In partnership with parents and caregivers, our goal is to guide students in problem solving skills, to
encourage them to listen to their hearts, to understand the importance and scope of well-meant criticism, and to stretch themselves academically, all in an effort to help them reach their full potential.
With the help and participation of active parents and caregivers, we believe a student’s potential is
limitless.
It is the strength of unity within our community of parents, faculty, and school board that truly makes
Kingfisher a special place for students to attend school. I once heard a quote from another Educator
that keenly summarizes the attributes that are key to the success of Kingfisher Schools:
“If you want an opportunity to bring out the best in your child, put them in the best environment possible.”

Assisting in the Education of Students
Did you know that Kingfisher Schools receives money for each student on our Title IX roll? The government gives
a flat fee for any student with a 506 form on file. The 506 form simply states that the student is part Native American – the
percentage is not on the form. Any student with any Native American ancestory, even several generations ago, can qualify.
The only information required for the 506 count is the student‟s name, the tribe the ancestor belonged to and a parent signature on the form. If a form is turned in, this does not require you to join any clubs or attend any meetings. It also does
not necessarily mean you are listing Native American as your primary race. With the Title IX funds that our school receives, we are able to provide after-school tutoring to all students regardless of age, race, creed, sex, or physical disability.
The funds also pay for technology such as computers for students in the classroom.
If you know that you have a Native American background and you haven‟t filled out a form for your child, please
contact the school. If you are unsure, call and we can tell you if you need to add your child‟s name to the list. Kingfisher
also participates in other grants that are funded primarily on the basis of the free and reduced lunches that are provided
for students who qualify. Check out the opportunities to help your child and support our school through participating in
the free and reduced lunch program.
Increasing our count will benefit all students, and it is such an easy
touch with your school and help our kids today!

Redlands Community College
and
Kingfisher Schools
Redlands Community College and the Kingfisher School System continue a partnership that
is now more than a decade old. Both schools
have agreed to work together for the mutual
benefit of each institution and their students.
Today, education doesn‟t end with the high
school diploma. For nearly everyone, additional
education will be needed beyond high school
whether that education is vocational-technical
training and special work related classes, an associates degree, or an advanced college degree.
There‟s just no question; to remain current on
the latest information and techniques, additional
training and classes will be required.
Recognizing these needs, Redlands Community College, headquartered in El Reno, and the
Kingfisher Schools have cooperated to bring
college classes to the community of Kingfisher.
Kingfisher area students (adults, high school
seniors, and in some instances even high school
juniors) may take a variety of courses each semester and during the summer.
Redlands Community College classes serve
recent high school graduates and many more as
well. Students still in high school can take
„„concurrent courses‟‟ for college credit. Seniors who have scored at least a 19 on their
ACT, 1st semester juniors with at least a 24
and 2nd semester Juniors who have at least a
21 on their ACT can enroll in regular credit
college classes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is possible for a high school student to complete a semester of college work before graduating from
high school, possibly even more. This means a
wonderful saving in time and money plus it provides the student with a head start not only in
credits but also in adjustment to the college atmosphere.
As a special incentive for underclassmen to
take college classes, the Kingfisher Board of
Education has made it possible for high
school students to count the Redlands college
Government class for both high school and
college credit. For more information see the
counselor.
Many other students take classes as well. In
addition to the traditional just out of high school
college student, many non-traditional students
take classes too. People of all ages, even senior
citizens, have taken classes in Kingfisher. Some
want to finish their Associate‟s Degree. Others
whose college was delayed by work, marriage,
children, etc., now want to start on their dream.
Some need to upgrade their skills and still others
are just interested in continuing their learning.
Whatever the need, RCC wants to work with the
Kingfisher Schools to help meet that need. As a
special bonus, persons over age 65 may take
classes for audit at no charge.
Now, with a modern high school facility located at 1500 S. 13th Street in Kingfisher, even
more opportunities will present themselves.
Well equipped Science Labs welcome more science classes and a „„fiber-optic‟‟ classroom
opens Redlands Classes to the whole world! The
day may come when students will have to visit
the Redlands campus for only a few classes
prior to obtaining a degree.
Educational opportunity is the sincere mission
of the Kingfisher Schools. From „„Distance
Learning‟‟ through televised instruction, to middle school exploratory classes, to advanced high
school classes, to Redlands Community College
classes, it is possible to get an outstanding education in Kingfisher. For questions or more information, please call 375-4191 and speak with
the Redlands Community college site coordinator.

Academic Performance Index (API)
Kingfisher Public Schools
2010-API Scores*
Kingfisher School District
1329
Gilmour Elementary 1397
Middle School 1268
High School 1387
"Oklahoma’s Academic Performance Index (API) has given our state a boost on recent federal legislation regarding
accountability and reporting practices," said State Superintendent Sandy Garrett.
With minor adjustments for compliance, the API has been submitted to the United States Department of Education (USDE) for use as Oklahoma‟s single accountability system, required under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)
of 2001.
The entire nation is undergoing great change in educational policy, stemming largely from the NCLB Act of
2001. Federal legislation under this Act requires many amendments to current policy, effective immediately.
The API, defined in state law under Title 70 O.S. § 3-150 and 3-151, is a numeric score, ranging from 0-1500,
that indicates school performance based primarily upon state-mandated tests but also upon other contributing factors to a
school‟s educational success. The seven educational indicators set forth in the API law (the factors in the API formula)
are:
1. Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP) scores
2. Attendance rates
3. Dropout rates
4. Advanced Placement participation and performance (secondary schools)
5. Graduation rates (secondary schools)
6. ACT average scores (secondary schools)
7. College remediation rates (secondary schools)
The purpose of the API is to measure success and initiate growth in school and district performance in our state.
It is important to remember that because of vast differences in size, location, demographics, etc. among Oklahoma
schools, the State Department of Education (SDE) urges caution in comparing the score of one school or district to that of
another. The emphasis of the API is growth with each school and district; the focus should remain on meeting or exceeding established annual targets.
Test scores comprise at least 80 percent of each school's API score depending upon whether or not a school site
is a high school or the district includes a high school. The state-mandated tests utilized are given in Grades 3, 4, 5, 8 and
End of Instruction Tests (EOI).
To ensure validity and reliability of the data relative to small numbers of students, API baseline scores are reported only for schools who have 30 or more state mandated test scores at that site in the 2004-2005 school year. The
School/District Report Cards with the API Index provide a detailed picture of both areas of success and areas needing
improvement. The tests are administered at grades 3, 4, 5, 8 & EOI, and results from both reading and math are used in
the API. The SDE is awaiting further federal guidance before determining the expected annual targets.
Because Oklahoma schools vary greatly in aspects such as size, demographics and location, the API score of one
school or district does not necessarily compare to the API score of another school or district. By way of a comparable
example, the average ACT composite score reflects the performance of a sizable sample of students across the nation on
just one test. However, ACT posts a notice on every national release that the "average scores should not be interpreted as
providing grounds for an explicit or implicit ranking of the various states‟ educational systems." The API brings together
five different sets of test scores for various grade levels and six additional indicators of school performance and through a
complex formula arrives at a single score.
The state-wide report card is on the web at: http://schoolreportcard.org/2009/reports/

Kingfisher Students Reach for Success as Scholarships Recipients
More than $1,938,210 Awaits KHS Grads

The price of a college education seems to be extremely high. However, there is money available to
help pay for a college education. In fact, students have many sources of financial aid available to them such
as grants, loans, and scholarships.
Armed with a resume, a letter of recommendation, and several applications, the seniors at Kingfisher
High School haven‟t been job hunting all year but scholarship hunting. The seniors search for scholarships
to help offset the staggeringly high costs that come with a higher education. Hard work, dedication, and determination have been the keys for the KHS senior class of 2011. As of this date, they have been awarded

Kingfisher High School provides many opportunities for seniors to seek scholarships and work in
this area actually begins during the freshman year. Conferences are held with parents and students and tests
measuring student interests are used to encourage thought about future education opportunities.
Student‟s also complete four-year plans, which outline their education goals for their high school
years, and many teachers spend class time discussing careers and the educational preparation required for
them. In addition, the district sponsors frequent career interest activities so those students can meet with individuals currently working in a career of their interest. A Career Center has been established in the library

KHS Photography
KHS STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHERS
Several Kingfisher High School student photographers have been recognized for their
work at the National Youth Photo Competition of the Photography Society of American. Their
photos had previously been selected for recognition at the Oklahoma Camera Club Youth Photography Competition.
At the OK Camera Club Competition, KHS Assistant Chief Photographer Caleb Deane received a first place award in the Landscape/Waterscape category for his photo “Clouds of Fire”
taken in Grand Teton National Park. In total, fourteen of the thirty photos recognized were from
KHS. The Oklahoma Camera Club Youth Photo Competition is the equivalent of “state” for a
sports team.
According to Carol McCreary of the Oklahoma Camera Club, a large percentage of the photos displayed at the National Competition were from Oklahoma and many of those were from Kingfisher.
KHS Photography Sponsor Dr. A. J. Johnson said, “Our student photographers have done
well every year and this year was no exception. I certainly appreciate their efforts.”
KHS Photography students also took their annual photography field trip; this year to Taos,
New Mexico where they learned about landscape photography and special lighting conditions.
They also attended the Taos Balloon Festival getting some very interesting shots.
Johnson added, “None of these activities would have been possible without the cooperation
and encouragement of the Kingfisher Schools‟ administration and Board of Education. Because of
them these students have state of the art equipment, unique photographic opportunities and the opportunities to express themselves through photography. Within the last few years, four students
who got their initial photography training at KHS have gone on to graduate with photography degrees and find employment as professional photographers. ”
Your calls, suggestions, and visits are welcomed by the staff of the Kingfisher Schools. For more information please refer to our web site at:

Gilmour Elementary
When sending breakfast/lunch money with your child, please put it in an envelope marked with the
child‟s name, teacher, amount, and how much money is to go towards breakfast and/or lunch. Unless
the parent specifies, all money will be applied to the student‟s lunch account.
We encourage parents to prepay for your child‟s meals. Meals may be paid by the week, month, semester, or year. Any unused money may be carried over to the next week, month, semester, or year.
Each student will be issued a lunch card. Damaged or lost cards will cost $1.00 to replace the first
time and will increase $1.00 each time thereafter. This amount will automatically be charged to your
child‟s account.
Parents will receive a note regarding your child‟s breakfast/lunch charges the first school day after the
last day of the month. Your child‟s charges need to be paid, along with money for future meals within
three school days. If charges are not paid by the 4th day, your child will receive a peanut butter sandwich, fruit and milk. He/she will continue to receive this meal until charges are paid in full.
Parents are welcome to join children for lunch anytime, but we request that you phone the school secretary by 8:00 a.m. the day you wish to eat. The cost is $3.00 for any age guest meal.
Children may purchase extra milk.
Any questions regarding your child‟s account should be directed to the Cashier. You may contact her at 375-4010 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Middle and High School
Each high school student will be issued a meal card. Students must present this card to receive a meal.
If a student does not have his/her meal card, he/she will be asked to go to the end of the line until everyone has been served.
Meal money may be paid from 7:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m., and from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. No money
will be received during the serving period.
We encourage parents to prepay for children‟s meals. Money may be sent to school with your child, or
mailed to the cashier. Please send to: Dawn Newton, Middle School, 601 S. 13th, Kingfisher, OK
73750 or Linda Murphey, Kingfisher High School, 1500 S. 13th, Kingfisher, OK 73750. If you have any
questions, please call the cashier at the respective school to inquire about your child‟s account. The
Middle School kitchen number is 375-5167 and the High School kitchen number is 375-4703.
Students may not accumulate more than $6.00 in charges at a time. Charge notes will be given to students daily at the point of service. If your child reaches this limit an attempt to contact parents will be
made, and he/she will receive the peanut butter sandwich, fruit, and milk lunch until charges are paid.
Lost or damaged cards will cost $1.00 to replace the first time and will increase $1.00 each time thereafter.

Kingfisher Schools Teacher’s of the Year
Alisha Wallace– High School and District Teacher of the Year
Alisha Wallace was raised by a family of educators in central Oklahoma, graduating from Strother High School in 2004. After receiving her degree from Oklahoma Baptist University in 2008, she moved to Kingfisher to teach middle school
and high school art.
Wallace works to hold students accountable for their actions and teach them responsibility for their own choices, helping to mature students for the next level.
The goal for her classroom is for every student to “work to the best of their ability” each day. “I am very privileged to teach my students in a community where
traditional values are still thought to be of worth,” she said.
When not in the classroom, Wallace is an active member of Kingfisher First Baptist Church, where she is involved in choir, children, and youth ministries.
Lisa Storm– Gilmour Elementary Teacher of the Year
Lisa Storm teaches third grade at Gilmour Elementary. She is married to John Storm and has
two children Meredith 25 and Nick 21. Both Children are KHS graduates. Meredith works in
Tulsa and is an OSU graduate, and Nick attends OSU.
Mrs. Storm earned her bachelors degree from OSU in 1982. She worked as a Home Economist
for the Shawnee Milling Company then moved to Kingfisher to serve as the Extension Home
Economist for the Cooperative Extension Service. She earned a Masters Degree from UCO and
began teaching at Gilmour in 1999. She accomplished National Board Certification in 2003.
She is a member of the First Baptist Church and enjoys reading, piano, sewing and cooking.
“I love teaching third grade,” says Mrs. Storm. “Students are so anxious to learn and I know all
students CAN learn. She adds, “I truly believe teaching is a calling and God guides me every
day.”
Glenda Wolf– Middle School Teacher of the Year
Glenda Wolf graduated with a degree in Special Education from the University of Central Oklahoma. She immediately went to work as a Special Education Teacher at The
Children's Center in Bethany. This is a specialized hospital for children with medical
and rehabilitative needs. After working there for 18 years she took a position at Kingfisher Schools as the COOP teacher for the multi-handicapped classroom. In '09 she
became the director of the COOP, while still teaching in the classroom. This year she
became the Special Ed. Director for Kingfisher Schools and has remained in the classroom part-time
25
Education of our young people is an investment in the future. A commitment to excellence in education is the hallmark of Kingfisher Public Schools. Support for education is a tradition and a trust our community has chosen to honor.
The Kingfisher Educational Foundation (KEF) continues to support Kingfisher Schools through activities, projects, and monetary grants to teachers. Each
year, the KEF gives thousands of dollars in grants that provide for projects ranging
from new geographical maps, head-phones for listening and reading, computeraided technology, to specific projects like start-up funds for resurfacing the old track
field.
Each year the Foundation holds a Duck Race to kick off the start of new
year. The little rubber-duckies continue to be a great success and the Foundation
raises thousands of dollars during the event.
The High School Flag Plaza continues to be a focus of attention for the
Foundation and anyone interested in purchasing a brick for the plaza may contact
Vicki Rother at 375-3121 .
The Foundation continues to work for our schools and accepts contributions
to the principal account throughout the year. Its governing board meets the 2 nd
Thursday of each month at the Kingfisher Board of Education Building at 7:00 a.m.
and the public is welcome to attend.
Kingfisher Public Schools in conjunction with Families First,
the Department of Human Services, and Kingfisher County Health
Department have joined hands to strengthen the bond between the
schools, families, and the local community. Together these
entities formulate the Kingfisher Community Collaborative
(KCC). During the school year, each team meets regularly to
assess new referrals and evaluate progress with on-going cases.
Our mission is to give support and choice to children and families
regarding health and wholeness. We also empower families to
provide a safe and encouraging environment for their children.
Currently working with Kingfisher Schools is a school based
nurse and Helen Naifeh a School based social worker. We are
proud to have outstanding individuals working to improve our
school and community.
