About Us

Welcome to MacArthur!

At MacArthur Elementary, we are committed to excellence! Our mission is to develop students who excel as lifelong learners both academically and socially and who develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills to help them succeed at life. MacArthur is a place where all students, regardless of any external factors, are encouraged to achieve their greatest potential.

21ST CENTURY CONTINUED LEARNING CLUB

Through a grant from Youth at Heart, we offer a free 21st Century Continued Learning Club that provides homework help, free tutoring and high-interest clubs like gardening and bike club after school from 2:30-5 p.m., with a light meal included. Through the Reading Partners program, children are paired with community volunteers who work with students on a one-on-one-basis. In addition, through other partners, food baskets, backpacks, and other services are available for families in need.

POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION SUPPORT SCHOOL

We focus on elevating the positive in each child as well as teaching students how to interact in a positive manner. Using rigorous curriculum along with supporting teachers to develop greater conceptual understanding and richer instruction, we provide a meaningful learning experience for all our students. We reward positive behavior and attendance with a weekly "paycheck" which can be spent on STAR store items, free dress passes, and gift cards.

My name is Sandi Morrow, and I have been in education in Oklahoma for more than 10 years - most of those with Tulsa Public Schools. I spent most of my teaching years as an early childhood teacher but have also taught first and third grades. I have also been a language arts specialist for kindergarten through fifth grades. Prior to teaching in Oklahoma, I spent six years teaching English in Japan in public schools and ten years coaching and managing gymnastics teams in Texas.

I am originally from Tulsa and a graduate from Edison High School. I am proud to be a part of the MacArthur team and to work with an amazing group of teachers and staff. I look forward to a terrific school year!

Our namesake

Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur

Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) was born to Arthur MacArthur Jr. and Mary Pinkney Hardy MacArthur on a military base in Little Rock, Arkansas. MacArthur graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1903. During military operations in Veracruz, Mexico in May 1914, MacArthur was involved in intelligence activity. MacArthur was recommended for the Medal of Honor, but his superior denied the request, citing his involvement in an operation was not authorized. In 1917, he was promoted from major to colonel and became chief of staff of the 42nd (Rainbow) Division. In the fighting on the Western Front during World War I, he rose to the rank of brigadier general, was again nominated for a Medal of Honor, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross twice and the Silver Star seven times.
In 1932, during the Great Depression, the “Bonus Army,” a group of World War I veterans marched on Washington D.C., wanting their post war benefits. The group that stayed behind had set up camp. MacArthur, being the chief of staff at this time, ordered the Army to disperse the rioters. Only one was killed, but the act was extremely unpopular.

MacArthur Elementary School was named in 1957 after General Douglas MacArthur. General MacArthur was one of only five men ever to rise to the rank of General of the Army in the U.S. Army, and the only man ever to become a field marshal in the Philippine Army. MacArthur’s hard work in education and excellence both as a student and then as an education administrator reflect the district’s core values.

Student Leadership Group

We promote and encourage our students to be leaders through our Student Leadership Group. These leaders partner with Educare to read to the babies in the Educare program, organize and run a can food drive and perform other leadership duties in the school.
