Our annual EAWR Volleyball Tournament is underway!
Something exciting is taking shape inside the newly renovated EAWR Auditorium!
Installation of the new seating is officially underway, and all seats are expected to be in place by the end of next week. Each new row brings us one step closer to completing this incredible space for our Drama Department, our students, and the entire Oiler Nation community.
We cannot wait to see these seats filled and our students performing on stage. The progress is exciting—and the finished auditorium is going to be something truly special!
A new era for the EAWR Auditorium is beginning!

Congratulations to the Queen Candidates and Escorts for the 99th Queen of the Harvest.
🏈 WELCOME BACK JFL TO OILER NATION FIELD! 🏈
When our young athletes need us, Oiler Nation is always ready to step up.
We are happy to welcome the JFL program back to our campus as it kicks off its season this Sunday. Although JFL had planned to begin a new chapter elsewhere, Oiler Nation Field is ready to provide these young athletes and their families with a safe, well-maintained place to play while their new field is being completed.
We are always here to support our young athletes and provide them with a great place to play. We wish every player, coach, and family a safe and successful opening day.
Welcome back, and good luck this season!
