Start earning college credit
University of Oklahoma
This summer, students can amplify their Concurrent Enrollment experience by taking five hours of college credit at OU and experiencing life as a Sooner through our Sooner Discovery program, which will occur virtually for the summer of 2021. Sooner Discovery’s goal is to provide high school students a unique and full college immersion experience.
Students can also take classes online or on campus this summer by applying for Concurrent Enrollment. Rising Oklahoma seniors will receive a tuition waiver from the state for up to 18 hours their senior year, so all they would have to pay is a reduced fee rate of $80 per hour! You can find the application here.
Yearbook
YEARBOOK ALERT:
IT’S LOVED FOREVER
The hand-written notes from classmates. Actual PRINTED photos. The chance to look back at outdated hairstyles. All this and more is why there's nothing like a yearbook.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Even during these unusual times, the Little Axe High School yearbook team is working hard to create a yearbook that is one-of-a-kind and reflects the unique moments that students are experiencing this year.
