Broken Arrow Public Schools is participating in a summer feeding program that provides free meals to children age 18 and younger at various Broken Arrow school sites and locations. Students are required to eat on-site. USDA does not allow parents to pickup meals for children.

All meals meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines and are prepared with a number of locally-sourced ingredients.

Meals are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service. The USDA restricts adults from eating from a child’s plate, but parents/caregivers may purchase a meal for $4.50 at the school sites only. Menus are subject to change.

Since 1999, The Broken Arrow High School Alumni Association has been honoring outstanding Broken Arrow graduates for their impact on the community. Known as “Great Graduates,” the purpose of the program is to recognize those who have brought honor to their community and to their Alma Mater through their personal and professional accomplishments.

The BAHS Alumni Association is currently accepting nominations for this year’s group of Great Graduates. To be eligible for the award, nominees must have graduated from BAHS at least 20 years ago, and display both the integrity and courage to motivate them to have a positive impact on their community. Though hard to measure, these qualities can be evidenced by a history of selfless giving of time and talent to community service and building a better future for others. As they continue to live out their commitment to excellence, they serve as a role model to the entire community.

Nominations can be completed online. The deadline for submitting nominations is July 1.

The awards reception for our Great Graduates will be held during the annual Homecoming football game.

Students in grades 6-12 for the 2024-25 school year can purchase their Chromebook insurance online.

The Broken Arrow Public Schools Student Technology Insurance Program has been established to give parents the opportunity to purchase insurance and provide Help Desk support for their child’s Chromebook device. This annual purchase gives parents peace of mind as the insurance package will cover Chromebook repair or replacement costs and damages to the charge cord. Lost or stolen charge cords will not be covered by the insurance (damaged charge cords must be turned in for replacement).

The insurance program is voluntary, but families are highly encouraged to participate.

Purchase 2024-25 Chromebook Insurance

Please keep in mind that if insurance is not purchased at the time of device acceptance, parents/guardians are responsible for the full cost of any repair or replacement of all damage to or loss of the Chromebook and charge cord. Acts of intentional damage will not be covered by the insurance.
