In 1901, the city passed a bond issue to build its first school building serving the students of Holdenville until the school board bought the building from the city in 1909. It was known as the "Old Building."

Our present high school was constructed n 1920-1921, at a cost of $ 106,000. There were twenty three rooms and an auditorium on the third floor that would seat 700 people. On January 6, 1930, fire destroyed most of the interior. The top story was removed and additions were constructed on each side of the building.

Although the physical plant of Holdenville High School has changed several times since the original school was built, high standards and quality education have been the foundation.

With the passage of a School Bond Proposal, the Holdenville High School Renovations project team hosted a construction kick-off for the community on Friday, May 20, 2016. Construction and plant improvements continue at Holdenville Public Schools
