🎓Announcement for the Class of 2026! (Family and Friends) TONIGHT our graduates are excited that we’ll be busing them for one last class ride together with an escort for a “special walk through the tunnel” at 8PM for the Broken Bow High School Graduation ceremony at Memorial Stadium! 🎥 For those unable to attend in person or worried about parking, don’t worry—watch the livestream on the Broken Bow Network @BrokenBowSavages on YouTube! Important Details: • Venue Update: Memorial Stadium is currently under restoration. Expect temporary turf on portions of the field for our Seniors and the stage. Some areas will be fenced off. • Seating Arrangements: Audience seating will be limited to the home and visitor bleachers only. Unfortunately, no access to the end zone areas for lawn chairs will be available this year due to construction. Everything beyond the 20-yard line will be blocked off. • Access Points: Entry to the field will be through gates on the home side and the northeast corner of the visitor’s side. • Parking: Please note that parking will be limited. We encourage sharing rides and utilizing the livestream for convenience. • Gates Open: 6:00 PM • Ceremony Starts: 8:00 PM Weather Contingency: In the event of bad weather, the ceremony will be moved to Sunday. However, we believe at this time we’ll move forward tonight. The Sports Complex is another option but it would have limited capacity as well. We are going to have faith that tonight’s plans will hold. 🖤💛 #BBHS2026 #Graduation2026

🏆🍎Congratulations to the 2026 Broken Bow Public School’s … TEACHER OF THE YEAR …from Rector Johnson Middle School— Mr. Kent Nix! Kent was born to WD and Daisy Nix in September of 1970. Other than his time in college, and his first three years after college, he has spent his life here in Broken Bow. He graduated from Broken Bow High school in 1988 and from Southeastern Oklahoma State University with a Math Education degree in 1992 which is when he began his teaching career as a math teacher in Graham-Weleetka, Oklahoma, near Henryetta. He then moved back to Broken Bow in 1995 where he began teaching high school math in Valliant, Oklahoma and at Southeastern’s remote campus in Idabel in the summer. In 1999 he began teaching Carpentry at Broken Bow High School after the passing of his former high school instructor Dale Cunningham. In 2014 he came to the Rector Johnson middle school to teach one year of math before taking over the Tech Ed program upon the retirement of Johnny Highful. He has spent the remainder of his years here at Broken Bow teaching the STEM program which included Design & Modeling, Automation and Robotics, Science of Technology, Magic of Electrons, and Flight and Space. His classes were also involved in the VEX Robotics and TSA competitions throughout the years. Kent and Carey, his wife of 35 years, have three children; MaKenzie Adams, Cameron Nix and Mia Nix. Mackenzie owns a Daycare in Idabel, Cameron works in Ohio and Mia sadly passed away in her senior year at Broken Bow in April of 2025 with complications of pneumonia. Upon retirement Kent looks forward to spending time with his six grandkids and his family while also spending more time studying God’s word. He also looks forward to watching Broken Bow Savage sporting events even when it’s during school hours. lol. Kent enjoys working and will continue to work using his carpentry skills or other various skills. He also enjoys writing songs to encourage and uplift the faith and spirits of others. Writing these songs that share hope in Christ on his YouTube channel has been a great escape and relaxing hobby. He knows he is far from perfect but he hopes the platform which God gave him as a teacher has given students’ an example of which they can emulate. He realizes that many of you guys are as good or better than he is at his job and that many of you deserve the award as much or more than he does, but he thanks you for your confidence. It is an honor. Broken Bow School has been very good to him and he is thankful for the opportunity given to him. He will continue to support the school in any way he can but he is ready for the next stage of his life.

👟The Broken Bow Savages brought heat to the 2026 OSSAA Class 4A State Track & Field Championship — and Greydon Howell put on a show for the history books. ⚡️Howell swept the 400M and 200M, setting a STATE RECORD in the 400 with a blazing 47.19. The 4×200 relay team of Burks, Fields, Flagg, and Howell set a school record with a 1:28.45. Brayden Burks added a 3rd in the 300M Hurdles, and the 4×400 squad finished 2nd. The Boys finished 3rd overall with 58 points. On the girls side, Kylee Burris turned in a tremendous performance — 2nd in the 100M (12.09) and 2nd in the 200M (24.63). The 4×100 relay team of Cauthron, Ashton, Cherry, and Burris grabbed 4th, Adelyn French competed in the 100M Hurdles, and Jaylen Cauthron cleared 5′ 0″ in the High Jump. The Lady Savages finished 9th overall with 35.5 points. Proud of every Savage who competed on the biggest stage in Oklahoma!

👟It was a record-breaking day for Broken Bow Track at the OSSAA State Championship Meet in Catoosa on Friday. Four school records were broken in the preliminary heats as Broken Bow advanced into Saturday's finals in seven different events. Sophomore sensation Kylee Burris became the first ever Lady Savage to eclipse the 12 second mark in the girls 100 meter dash with a blistering 11.94 seconds, beating the previous school mark of 12.12 set by Teanna Butler in 2012. Burris also broke her own record in the 200 meter dash with a time of 24.40 seconds. She easily qualified for Saturday's finals in both events. She also qualified as a member of the 4x100 relay team along with Jaylen Cauthron, Amiya Cherry, and Jah'niyah Ashton with a time of 49.23 seconds. Cauthron also finished tied for 8th place in the high jump today. Adelyn French qualified for the finals in the 100 meter hurdles with a time of 16.82 seconds. Savage phenom Greydon Howell also set school records in two events today, beating his previous mark in the 200 meter dash with a time of 21.34 seconds, and breaking the school record in the 400 meter run with a time of 47.64 seconds. The previous record in the 400 meters was set by Kendall Short in 1998 with a time of 48.15 seconds. Freshman Brayden Burks also qualified for tomorrow's final in the 300 meter hurdles in 39.47 seconds. Friday's preliminary round was cut short due to inclement weather and will resume Saturday morning where it left off. Congratulations to Kylee and Greydon on their milestone performances on Friday and good luck to all of our athletes as they move into Saturday's final round!
