School Volunteers are in the news this week, and we are proud to highlight a special group making a lasting impact on our Aviation Tigers. Working alongside Dr. Jenny Peters, Doug Robertson, Charlie Welch, and Bob Webster have helped students navigate the complex process of building the RV-12 sport aircraft.
They have done more than share technical expertise. They have shown up time and again as true mentors, offering encouragement, guidance, and real-world knowledge that will stay with these students long after the project is complete. Thank you for helping our Tigers build more than an aircraft—you are helping them build their future.

Making Waves: Another Pate in the News
Coach Jodee Pate launched the Pryor swim team just three years ago, and the program has made waves ever since. Each season, Pryor swimmers have qualified for state, but this year marked a major milestone with the entire team earning a spot at the state meet.
Under Coach Pate’s leadership, the team also broke four school records this season. Through drive, dedication, and a belief in her athletes, she has continued to grow the Pryor swim program year after year.
What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is that several of her swimmers had never competed before joining the team. Even so, they kept dropping time, reaching personal bests, and showing what can happen with hard work and great coaching.
Congratulations to Coach Pate and the Pryor swim team on an incredible season!

Congratulations to Coach Pate on being named Region 3 Tennis Coach of the Year!
Since taking over the program in 2020, Coach Pate has put Pryor Tennis on a path to incredible success, including state qualifiers every year since 2021. His impact goes beyond the court, too, giving players opportunities to experience college tennis firsthand with visits to OU and TU.
A few 2026 season highlights:
🎾 First year Pryor has had both girls and boys Metro Lakes Conference champions
🎾 Girls team: 4 tournament championships in 5 events
🎾 Boys team: 2 championships and 3 runner-up finishes in 5 events
🎾 JV continues to post strong results
Coach Pate is building more than a winning program—he’s investing in student-athletes and helping Pryor Tennis grow stronger every season.
