We began classes in our new facility in August of
1999. Each classroom is equipped with at least one computer networked
with the administrative offices, and a television connected to the media
retrieval system. We also have a surveillance system with video
cameras for observing and recording activity in the building.
Furthermore, several classrooms are equipped with scanners, printers,
PC-to-TV converters, overhead projectors, and other equipment.
We encourage communication between the community and the
school. Conferences with teachers and/or administrators are
available upon request.

 | Library Resources
Our library is located in the
center of the building. We have 10 computers for student use, a
computer designated for the card catalog and a circulation computer.
We also have two network laser printers, one for student use and one for
teacher use. A typewriter is available for use on items such as scholarship
forms. Thanks to the State Department of Education, we have access to
several databases: EBSCO, First Search, Electric Library, and Infotrac.
These are wonderful resources for research. The user names and
passwords to be used from remote locations (home, etc.) are available upon
request from Mrs. Wood (English Dept.) or Mrs. Robinson in the library. |

The Elk City High
School Band has a tradition of excellence that stretches back into the 1940's. For over 80 years, the Elk City
Band has been an active part of the Elk City School system and community.
The 2004 enrollment is 154, which is the 2nd largest band ever in Elk City and
is the largest class AAA band in the state. This enrollment comprises
almost 1/3 of the total student body at Elk City High School.
The band has earned many honors
during the past several years, including 20 years of superior (I) ratings at the
Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA) state concert contest
in the last 20 years and twenty three consecutive years of superior ratings at
the OSSAA regional marching contest. The band has earned the OSSAA
Sweepstakes award for Class AAA nineteen times in the past twenty two years.
The ECHS Band has performed out of
state many times. Some of the most notable appearances include a featured
performance at the Epcot Center at Walt Disney World in Orlando in 1986,
marching in the presidential inaugural parade as Oklahoma's official
representative in 1989, performing as one of only four bands nationally in a
massed band performance for the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans in 1991, 1995, 1999,
and 2003. The Elk City Band traveled to San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl
during December of 1997. They have also traveled to the Holiday Bowl in
San Diego in 2000 and will return in 2004. In 1991, the ECHS Band also was
the only high school band chosen to provide music for the inauguration of
Governor David Walters. The band traveled to Florida in 1993 for the
Citrus Bowl Festival.
Numerous performance opportunities
for the students are provided by means of the marching band, symphonic band,
jazz band, brass choir, woodwind choir, percussion ensemble, and other
opportunities for solo and small ensemble performance. The Elk City
students are very active in honor groups and have filled 31 places in the
All-State Band and Orchestra in the past twelve years. In 1989, one Elk
City student, Susan Snipes, earned a spot in the McDonald's All-American
Band. Moreover, several Elk City band members have received substantial
music scholarships to various universities in Oklahoma and Texas.
The Band enjoys superb
administrative and community support as evidenced by the $60,000.00 raised in
just five weeks to send the band to the inaugural parade. There are plans
to expand the already fine facility. Most of the school owned instruments
are of professional quality. There is also an active and productive Band
Booster organization.
The ECHS Band Director, Randy
Brooks, has received many honors including being named Southwest Oklahoma's Band
Director of the Year in 1989. In 1992, he became the youngest president
ever elected to the Oklahoma Bandmasters Association. In 2001, he was
selected Oklahoma Bandmasters Association Director of the Year. Assistant
director is Summer Walje. Tim Dewitt serves as the percussion director
with the high school band and also conducts one of the junior high bands.
He has held many offices at both the regional and state level for the Southwest
and Oklahoma Band Director organizations. Dewitt is also the head of the
Elk City Jazz program. This program has been successful at the regional
and state levels.

ECHS Vocal Music

Four different groups make up the
Elk City Vocal Music program at Elk City Secondary Schools. Over 150
students are involved in the Junior High Select Chorus, High School Varsity,
Chorale and Jazz Choirs. Lori Daubenspeck is the director and Jerri
Headrick is her assistant.
The Elk City Varsity, Chorale and
Jazz Choirs are comprised of students in grades 9 through 12. The Jazz
Choir was established in 1996 and is a select group of 16 to20 students who have
at least one year's experience in high school chorus and have auditioned to be a
part of the group. The primary focus of the group is that of singing vocal
jazz literature; however, more traditional choral music is performed in the
spring of the year for district and state level competitions. Since
its inception, the group has established itself as one of the premier high
school vocal jazz ensembles in Oklahoma. Traditional choral literature
performance is the focus of both the Varsity and Chorale choirs of Elk City High
School. Both groups have steadily increased in size and in 2003 the ECHS
choir program received the Oklahoma Secondary Activities Association's
Sweepstakes designation as being one of the top choir programs to perform at
state competition in class 3A.
Members of the senior high school
choir program have been recognized on the state level as all-state
performers. The following is a list of students who have been selected to
the All-State chorus in the past ten years:
