Welcome To Edwards Elementary
School! |
 |
|
|

To our Eagle stakeholders,
parents, students, patron and parents: we
welcome you to "the Eagles' nest"! This is where young
eaglets are nurtured academically, socially, physically
and spiritually in the safe confines of a caring and
committed teaching staff. This is where young eaglets
"earn their wings" prior to taking flight on their
journey to soaring to new educational heights.
Lastly, eagles are famous for
their keen eyesight. We, the instructional staff at
Edwards Elementary School, are dedicated to and will
"see to it" that each child at Edwards Elementary
experiences academic success on a regular basis as they
prepare to become lifelong learners and 21st century
contributors to family, friend and the communities they
will positively affect.

What's In a Name?
Walter J. and Frances W. Edwards were African American
land developers. In 1936, they bought 32 acres in the
northeastern section of Oklahoma City. There they built
more than 800 homes. In 1938, they founded the
elementary school and donated the first building. In
1948, they constructed Edwards Memorial Hospital, a 105
bed facility. It is said to have been the only hospital
in the South owned and operated by African Americans.
