Reflecting on 2023, and looking ahead to 2024

With Thanksgiving behind us and the Winter Break quickly on the horizon, I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some accomplishments of our students this fall and provide some updates for exciting future milestones.

A Special Christmas Gift Opportunity

The Job Corps has been a part of the fabric of our community since 1966. It attracts students from Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas and Louisiana who come here to take the next step in a unique journey of education and self improvement.

Huge crowds gather for first weekend of Victorian Walks

Plenty of holiday entertainment and activities engaged crowds during the first Saturday of Victorian Walk Nights through downtown Guthrie. Although it was about 42 degrees, there was minimal wind, so it was a good night to be out checking out the decorated store windows and vendors.

Annual ‘Santa Fly-In’ Planned

All are welcome to this FREE ‘Santa Fly-In’ vent sponsored by the Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport. This is a fun event for kids and families to learn about the airport, check out some unique aircraft, and spend some time with the man-in-red himself.
