Congratulations to the February Senior Spotlight Students!
My name is Kyra Franklin. I've spent all my life in Valliant and was very involved in the sports community when I was younger. Right now I am currently involved in culinary and our media class. I have also been in Yearbook all 4 years and was selected as Editor for the last 2 years. After high school I plan to attend OSU-IT for an online degree in Graphic Design while also maintaining a business on the side.
I’m Daniel Morris and I am a senior. I’m the 2021 and 2022 Angler of the Year in the South East Oklahoma High School Fishing Trail. I am involved in trap, skeet, forestry, and golf and enjoy each greatly. After graduation I plan to go straight to work.

Valliant Elementary's Robotics team, Genesis, received the Excellence Award, which is the highest award in the state! This award qualifies them for the World Championship in Dallas in May! Congratulations to Jagger Prince, Brody Browning, and Cecil Miller on their outstanding achievement!
All 3 of Valliant Elementary's robotics teams went to state competition last Saturday and 2 of the teams, Madd Engineers and Genesis made it to the final rounds! Great job to all 3 teams!
The Valliant Girls Powerlifting team dominated this season with Personal Records being crushed everywhere. It has been a blessing getting to coach these girls in the fundamentals of lifting with expectations of getting better everyday.
Kylie Corely, Valliant sophomore continued to rack in hardware this season demonstrating the sweat she has put in since last year. With Squat and Deadlifts over 300 lbs, she placed 1st in the southern region in the 165 pound weight class with a total of 770 lbs! Placing in regionals has qualified Kylie as a STATE contender this year.
Kylie, who is a great student and multi-sport athlete, participates in the HS Girl's State powerlifting meet tomorrow in Durant. Come out and support Kylie at Durant's Choctaw Nation Event Center, first lift will start at 9:00 a.m.

High School Valentine Deliveries!
All deliveries must be made to the High School Safe Room.
Also, please keep in mind that many of our students (upper classmen) are not on campus an entire day - they either attend KTC, have work study or an abbreviated schedule. If a delivery is made later than 11:15, there is a good chance those students will not receive their deliveries until tomorrow.
Happy Valentine's Day from Valliant High School!
Congratulations to the January Senior Spotlight Students!

FCCLA Regional STAR event competition was held yesterday at the Pontotoc County Fairgrounds. Valliant had 4 entries, and all 4 entries medaled.
Lily Smith, an 8th grader, received 1st in Repurpose and Redesign for her project that used non-recycable materials, candy wrappers and drink pouches, to create a dress. She will continue her journey at State in March.
Kylie Dickenson, an 8th grader, received 1st in Focus on Children. She taught 6th graders how to recognize depression in themselves and others and coping mechanisms for stress. She will also continue her journey at State.
Mackalynn Dansby, a junior, received 2nd in Teach or Train. She taught 1st graders about body positivity and the effect of words. Her score was high enough to move her on to State also.
Gracey Breshears and Aleya Jones, both sophomores, received 2nd in Interpersonal Communications. They did a project at our high school to spread positivity through spoken word and positive affirmations. They also had to complete a case study at the competition.
Congratulations Valliant FCCLA!!!!
