The birth of our historical tours begins in January 2009 and was a huge success with more than 300 attendees and again in May.  Visitors get a chance to enjoy up close the architectural wonders of art deco inside/out and 52 photographs of Will Rogers, Jr.  Most of our attendees were first time visitors.

The tours will be led by students and alumni who will share with the public some compelling information and stories about the architectural art deco, the designers, and Will Rogers, Jr.  The tours were started to help improve public awareness of the building, appreciation for Will Rogers, knowledge of art deco and help change the perception of the students have for their school and perception of public has for the school and its students.  

Come out and enjoy an evening of fun and see the wonder of Will Rogers High School.  No reservations required and bring your families, friends and camera!
