The Carl Albert High School Titans Experienced the Journey of Hope.
Carl Albert High School 9th grade students had the incredible opportunity to hear from Mr. Richard Williams, a survivor of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. His story, “A Day of Darkness – Years of Light,” reflects on resilience, hope, and healing.
The connection to Mid-Del runs deep: Mr. Williams' wife, Lynn, worked for Mid-Del Schools, and their son, Aaron, was a student at Carl Albert High School during the time of the bombing.
Legislators representing Oklahoma County joined this powerful event to honor the family members of those lost, survivors, and the first responders from Midwest City who exemplified extraordinary bravery in the face of tragedy.
About the Program:
The Journey of Hope, an initiative by the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, is traveling to all 77 counties in Oklahoma as part of the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. This program shares vital lessons about the impact of violence and the importance of hope, using archival footage from the Museum. Recommended for students 6th grade and older, it ensures that the story and its enduring messages reach the next generation.
Together, we honor the past, inspire the future, and stand strong as #OneDistrictOneFamily. #mdpurpose #oklahomacitymemorial

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Mid-Del Public Schools Foundation for their generous donation, which made it possible to create calming corner kits for our elementary schools. These kits equip students with valuable self-regulation tools, allowing them to recognize their emotions and discover effective calming strategies. This meaningful contribution is a significant benefit to our community, and we are truly grateful for the Mid-Del Public Schools Foundation’s unwavering support. #mdpurpose #OneDistrictOneFamily
Mid-Del Families, We want to inform you that on Tuesday, November 19th our 11th and 12th grade students will have a virtual learning day. This adjustment is due to the PreACT assessment being administered to our 9th and 10th grade students on that day. Our 9th and 10th graders will report to school as regularly scheduled. Please ensure that your junior and senior students are prepared for their virtual classes and have the necessary resources available to them. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Community Support Spotlight: A Heartfelt Thank You
In times of need, our Mid-Del community always rises to the occasion. We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from our community members, who have come together to help our students and staff affected by the recent tornadoes. Your generosity has truly made a difference in the lives of our Mid-Del family.
A special thank you to the Mid-Del Public Schools Foundation for coordinating donations and to FNB Community Bank for assisting with gift cards for those impacted. Your kindness and care for our Mid-Del families show the true strength of our community.
