History of East Middle SchoolEast Middle School sits on the site of Ponca City's original school building built in 1893. The original wooden school building burned and was replaced in 1911 with a native stone building. The 2nd building was condemned in 1938 and replaced with the current building in 1939 for a cost of $441,216.23. Ralph Lester was the buildings inaugural principal. The building's 1400 seat auditorium was later named in honor of Mr. Lester. The current moniker of East was acquired in 1961 when the school district opened another junior high on the west side of town. The current principal of East Middle School is Barbara Davis, and the motto is :"learning is the Only Option". One-to-One Laptop SchoolThe 1:1 Digital Classroom Project was funded under the American Recovery and Investment Act of 2009. Approximately 6.68 million dollars was set aside for innovative projects using 1:1 laptops, of which Ponca City received approximately $900,000. In the 2015-2016 school year, due to complaints about the laptops being too heavy to carry, Ponca City Public Schools received a 1:1 ratio of Chromebooks for East Middle School, and Ponca City High school, and lock carts with Chromebooks at the other schools, to replace the traditional laptops used the years before.[1] West Middle SchoolWest Middle School first opened in 1961 as West Junior High School and served grades 7,8 and 9.
