hat is a state school of agriculture? Even though it was considered a college, students received a high school diploma. They studied mechanics, the arts, domestic science and agriculture. The Broken Arrow

Ledger headline proclaimed “Broken Arrow Jubilant” and church bells rang throughout the community after the announcement that the town had been selected as the location of the Haskell State School of Agriculture. Broken Arrow had to furnish 80 acres of land. The school was located at 808 E. College St. Plans were made for the design of the building, which would need to serve 300 students. It was made of brick, with 14 rooms, and had three loors. Students came from 15 counties and boarded with local families, as there were no dormitories. Besides the classroom building, other structures were added to the property. There was a barn, creamery, caretaker’s house and poultry houses. There were grain ields, gardens, a ish hatchery and pond. While the building was still being built, classes began at the Opera House on Main Street. The cornerstone was laid and a ceremony held in May 1910. The building was inished in May 1911. Due to state appropriation cuts, the school was closed in 1917. The buildings and the land were given to Broken Arrow Public Schools, which used the main structure for over 60 years.

Many remember it as the “Fine Arts Building.” It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. This is a program through the National Park System to “protect

Broken Arrow is Oklahoma’s fourth-largest city and Tulsa’s largest suburb, with an estimated population of 100,073 in 2011. It is also one of the state’s fastest-growing cities, adding more than 25,000 residents and a slew of big-box retailers since 2000. Known for quiet suburban life and short commutes to Tulsa, Broken Arrow has been named by national publications as one of the best 100 places to live, one of the 10 best places for families, one of the 25 safest cities in America and one of the most afordable suburbs in the South. A downtown revitalization efort that began in 2005 has aimed to create an arts and entertainment district centered on the city’s Main Street, and several new restaurants, a historical museum and a performing arts center have headlined the recent downtown improvements.
