Have you read the special Beggs Alumni articles in the Okmulgee Times spotlighting some of the many teachers who made a lasting impact on students throughout Beggs school history?
They were the caring, the tough love motivators, the guiding, the quiet encouragers, coaches, leaders and the unforgettable characters who made a difference many years down the road.
Here is a teaser list of SOME of the teachers mentioned in the articles. Think you know who it is? Remember, these articles go all the way back before Oklahoma was a state.
•Coach (multiple) •Principal (multiple) •Barbara •Bill
•Cathy •Clifford •Danny •Derrick
•Don •Dorothy •Evelyn •Friedrich
•Glenda •Jane •Jeff •Joe
•Jolene •Kathryn •Larry •Lee Ann
•Lelia •Lena •Mayo •Misty
•Olive •Patricia •Paul •Pearlie

A few notes:
• There are several more teachers mentioned in the articles. This is only a teaser.
• There are likely multiple people with the same first name or title.
• There are countless other amazing Beggs teachers who aren't mentioned. One article could never capture them all.
**Our sincerest apologies to the Okmulgee Times for somehow missing Part 1 when it was first published!**
If you missed it too, it was printed May 15th or you can still find it on their website: The Teachers Who Built Beggs https://www.yourokmulgee.com/article/4426,the-teachers-who-built-beggs-part-1
Part 2 just came out this week. Find it at: The Teachers Who Shaped Us https://www.yourokmulgee.com/article/4565,the-teachers-who-built-beggs
