Will Rogers High School

Will Rogers High School was designed by two very important architects, Leon B. Senter and Joseph Koeberling Jr. It was built in 1939 and Joseph Koeberling in an interview in his old age said people should leave the purse strings loose and create something of beauty with a building such as this. In the last couple of years they have put in new windows and restored Will Rogers High School as a gem in the Tulsa Art Deco tiara! It is famous art deco and is in all the art deco books! It is on the National Register. As far as the education part of Rogers, it provided a much better education when it was built because the parents knew the value of their children becoming educated. That is no longer the way parents of current students view education… mini soap box! BTW, with additions, they maintained the same Art Deco style. Yay! The Tulsa Public School gives intermittent tours of this school.

This will be a short review. Rogers is one of the top high schools in Tulsa, at least it has one of the best sports programs. When I would drive by it on my way to someplace else I would drive by their HUGE FOOTBALL STADIUM. You would be blown away at the size of this thing, it must fit 5,000 people.
You have to remember that high-​school football is king in the Midwest. Think about the movie «Radio,» and you will get it. Like the pros anywhere else.
