About Us

Welcome to Memorial High School!

We are a place where academic excellence, personal accountability, and a strong sense of community come together to prepare students for success in college, career, and life. Our dedicated teachers challenge students to think critically, collaborate effectively, and take ownership of their learning. We are large enough that we can provide opportunities for students that larger schools offer, but small enough that we know our students and their stories.

At Memorial High School, we provide a well-rounded academic experience that combines a strong foundation of traditional courses with a wide selection of Advanced Placement (AP) offerings. In addition, students can apply to two distinctive programs: Robotics (TEAM), which emphasizes innovation and hands-on STEM learning, and Earn a Degree Graduate Early (EDGE), an exceptional opportunity that allows students to graduate with both their high school diploma and a free associate degree from Tulsa Community College. Through partnerships with TCC and Tulsa Tech, we also offer college and career courses right on our campus, giving students the chance to explore future pathways and gain real-world experience before graduation.

Earn a Degree Graduate Early (EDGE) – early college program

Students in the EDGE program have the unique opportunity to graduate from high school with an associate degree from Tulsa Community College, giving them a strong head start on their college and career goals. To ensure every student’s success, the program provides extensive support, including an on-site mentor, a dedicated counselor, and a structured study hall built into the school day. Throughout the program, students are gradually introduced to the rigor of college coursework, gaining confidence, independence, and the academic skills needed to thrive in higher education and beyond.

Robotics (TEAM)

Students in the Robotics (TEAM) program begin their journey as freshmen by enrolling in Tulsa Tech’s engineering courses offered right on our campus. Students will focus on strengthening their skills in advanced math, science, and computer programming to include artificial intelligence (AI). From design to innovation, students gain practical experience and technical expertise that prepare them for future careers in engineering and technology. Students have the opportunity to join our robotics competitive team, which provides hands-on experiences, collaboration, and real-world application. Click here to learn more.

Our History

Memorial High School was named as a memorial to all Tulsa students and teachers who had fought in World War I, World War II and the Korean Conflict. In 1962, Memorial High School opened at 5840 S. Hudson Ave.

Key Contributions

The legacy of the veterans memorialized by the school’s name reflects the values of character, equity, and excellence which are reflected in the service of our community members serving in the military.

The building was named in honor of Tulsa students and teachers who were veterans of the World Wars and the Korean War. The veterans honored by the naming of the school are admired for their courage and sacrifice on behalf of the United States. It is possible that members of the community who are pacifists and who are opposed to dedicating memorials to war or conflict would object to naming a school in this way.

Relevant Historical Context

In 1962, when the school was named, John F. Kennedy was in the second year of his presidential term, John Glenn became the first American in space and tensions between the U.S. and Soviet Union lead to the Cuban Missile Crisis in October. The struggle for civil rights was intensifying, with civil rights groups launching voter registration campaigns and opponents rioting against desegregation. It was a time of great anxiety about American identity and the role of the U.S. in the world.
