10 years Center city district doors educational center elementary pupils eligible voters good Lone lone star school nggallery oklahoma oklahoma city owner polio property property owner Public public school system Sabin sabin vaccine school Star surplus system Vaccine
Located northeast of the city, the Lone Star school district included nine square miles, had only one school, and 130 elementary pupils. In 1964, voters of the district, opted to join the Oklahoma City Public School system with 172 of 300 eligible voters casting their votes. However, just over 10 years later in 1976, the Lone Star school closed its doors as an educational center for good. Then in 1981, the city sold 19 surplus schools including Lone Star, and the neighboring property owner purchased the school. Also, in 1963 the school was one of many locations set up to provide the Sabin Vaccine for Polio to any who wanted it.

Wow thts exactly what my elementry school looked like when I was a kid. They are the same design all the way down to the brick wall & the wooden panneling! The must of built them all the same back then.
Thanks! This was great! I went to Lone Star in 1975 and 1976, until it closed in 1976 and I lived close by. I even went to Lone Star Baptist Church right next door. I just went and took a few pictures of the exterior earlier this year but your footage of the inside is great and it brought back a bunch of memories.
Thanks for the heads up to what this school was called. I use to drive by it every weekend growing up & always wondered about it.
WOW. I attended 1st – 4th, Mrs McElroy, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Morrow, 1970-1974, Principal Moore – it was a great little school, so sad to see it this way, many happy memories….
I attended in 1958-1959 in the eighth grade, moved to Florida. Being an army brat, I was unused to such a small school but it was a fun year.
