Today we’re celebrating Ms. Haas, whose care, connection, and compassion make a difference every day.
When asked what she’s learned as a school counselor, Ms. Haas shared a moment that has stayed with her throughout her career: *“One thing I’ve learned as a school counselor is how much it matters to students when you know their name. With so many students over the years, my brain doesn’t always keep up, but I try my best! During one of my first years as a school counselor, a 7th grade boy was shocked when I said hi to him and knew his name. I later found out he told his mom that night, ‘Mom, the school counselor knew my name today and said hi to me!’ That moment has always stayed with me and reminds me how important it is for students to know they are seen—and that they matter.”*
Thank you, Ms. Haas, for reminding us that even the smallest gestures leave a lasting impact. Your dedication helps our students feel valued, supported, and truly seen.

Zoology students are comparing the 4 living sub-phylums of arthropod by constructing Marthropods— marshmallow arthropods. The students reviewed the numbers of tagmata, legs, and antennae. Using marshmallows, toothpicks, and piper cleaners, they made an insect, crustacean, arachnid, centipede, and millipede! Cute and sticky!

Skiatook Public Schools congratulates our high school band director, Keysto Stotz, who was named the 2025-2026 Band Director of the Year by Green Country Band Directors Association! This is a tremendous honor, and we appreciate all that Mr. Stotz does for our district and community!
🎉 Congratulations to our very own Keysto Stotz! 🎉
He has been nominated and voted the 2025–26 Band Director of the Year by dozens of his colleagues in the Green Country Band Directors Association! We are incredibly proud of his dedication, leadership, and the impact he continues to make on the Skiatook Band program. This past weekend, Mr. Stotz, Mr. Kitchen, and several Skiatook Band students attended the All-District Honor Band Clinic and Concert in Claremore. Earlier this year, these students auditioned, rose above tough competition on their instruments, and earned their place in the honor band. The guest clinicians for all three ensembles—7th Grade, Junior High, and High School—were outstanding, and the final concert was a fantastic experience for both students and audience members.🎶 Congratulations to our All-District Honor Band members and to our GCBDA Band Director of the Year, Mr. Stotz! 🎶
