Will Rogers High School Community Foundation
Welcome


At the urging of the Will Rogers High School administration and Tulsa Public
Schools, a group of interested persons has formed the Will Rogers High School
Community Foundation as a “not for profit” corporation in the State of Oklahoma.
The school doors opened September 11, 1939, to 1,501 students. Dedication
ceremonies were held that fall to coincide with the 60th anniversary of Will Rogers'
birth, November 4, 1879, Oklahoma’s “favorite son.” The school has a rich history of
excellence in academics, citizenship and sports. The school facility, an Art Deco
masterpiece, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Yet, in
the 70 years since the school opened, Will Rogers High School had been without
an existing mechanism that works in coordination with the school administration to
draw direct financial support from the private sector and the graduates and friends
of the school.
The Will Rogers High School Community Foundation was incorporated January 13,
2010, and has received a Letter of Determination from the Internal Revenue Service
that it qualifies under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) as a tax-exempt
public charity.
