Mid-Del School District

Save the Date, Class of 2026!

We’re excited to celebrate our seniors this May! Please note that our graduation ceremonies have been moved to Friday, May 22, 2026 at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds.

This change was made to avoid a conflict with our district’s end-of-year programs and teacher check-out day originally scheduled for May 21.

Check out the graphic below for ceremony times and details. We can’t wait to honor the Class of 2026! #mdpurpose #OneDistrictOneFamily
